This course will explore the fundamental laws and natural processes related to the mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, and biophysics of the human body. It is designed for kinesiology pre-health, biology and nursing students seeking to understand the foundations and biophysical principles of human life. Note that Kinesiology students seeking to apply to science based graduate programs are advised to take PHYS 1441 and PHYS 1442 so the prerequisite requirement of these courses will not preclude the students for whom PHYS 3360 is intended from taking the course. Prerequisite: PHYS 1441.
