I have been wondering about creating a course in applied physics for non-science majors. It would be one-semester long and would probably not have a lab (due to resources mainly) at least at first. It would be half way between the minimal math level 1010 conceptual courses and the year long trig and calculus based courses.
Target audiences might include nursing majors and other health professions, architects, anthropology majors, applied technology students (not engineering students), etc. I'm thinking of a 1010 course on steroids. Math prereqs would be algebra or statistics type courses.
1. Does anyone know of such a course that already exists?
2. Does anyone know of a textbook for such a course?
Thanks,
John
