General Physics I

Classical mechanics from the ground up: how Newton's laws, conservation principles, and a bit of calculus let you predict the motion of essentially anything that isn't moving near light speed or smaller than an atom. You'll grind through weekly problem sets and Giancoli chapters, sit two midterms plus a final, and run a handful of labs where you actually measure the quantities you've been computing on paper. It's the foundation every engineering and science track at Bilkent assumes you have — PHYS 102 picks up with electromagnetism, and most second-year courses (statics, circuits, thermodynamics) lean on the problem-solving habits you build here.
