Description:

This course is designed for firstyear students who intend to major in physics or pre-engineering. The goal of Physics 125 is to stimulate interest in physics by exposing students to topics that are at the current frontiers of physics and to help students develop quantitative reasoning and analytical skills that are necessary for further study in physics. Topics possibly covered include relativity, particle physics, cosmology, QED, and basic quantum mechanics. The course is intended to help students make a smooth transition from high school math and physics courses to our Principles of Physics course (126-127). Three lectures and one 3-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: Math 123 or concurrently. (Fall Semester) (4 Credits)
