Physics
Physics 51 is a 3-unit algebra-based general physics course. This is the first of the two 50-series physics that is taken by different programs in UP Manila, namely BS Biology, BS Pharmacy, BS Industrial Pharmacy and BS Physical Therapy. This covers the basic mechanics both for solid and fluid systems until thermodynamic systems. The main reference book is "Physics" by Giancoli, however other references like the books of Young and Freedman and Tipler are often used for special problems.
