Rockets and Roller Coasters

CSIE 277: Rockets and Roller Coasters
In this cluster, calculus and physics students will apply such principles as vector analysis, integrals, velocity, and Newtonian laws to model real-life applications including rockets and roller coasters.
Students will work individually and in teams to analyze limitations in real and hypothetical systems and then create a safer alternative model or scenario.

PHY 223 : Mechanics and Sound
A basic, calculus-based course in physics for students majoring in physical science and those on a pre-engineering curriculum. Topics include kinematics, Newton's laws, work and energy, conservation laws, rotational motion, oscillations and sound. Laboratory: two consecutive hours, one day per week.

MATH 121: Calculus II
Calculus of functions of a single variable continued; additional applications of definite integration to moments, centroids, arc length, surface area and work. Transcendental functions, infinite series, methods of integration, review of conic sections.
