-
1.00 Credits
Two hours of laboratory per week. CORE Distributive Studies Physical Sciences Laboratory Course only when taken with PHYS 106. Pre- or corequisite: PHYS106. Credit not applicable towards the minimum requirements for a major in physics and astronomy. Optional laboratory to accompany PHYS106. Laboratory experiments include geometrical optics (lenses, cameras, eye), optical instruments (telescope, binoculars), photography, perception, color phenomena, and wave phenomena.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey course in general physics emphasizing the role that physics plays in science, technology, and society today. The course is concept oriented and minimal use of mathematics is made. Intended for the general student; does not satisfy the requirements of the professional schools.
-
4.00 Credits
Five hours of laboratory per week. Recommended: High school physics. For elementary education, early childhood majors only. Not open to students who have completed PHYS117. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: PHYS115 or PHYS117. Intended for students majoring in neither the physical nor the biological sciences. Use of laboratory-based and inquiry-based methods to study some of the basic ideas of physical sciences.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: qualification to enter MATH110. Intended for students majoring in neither the physical nor biological sciences. A study of the development of some of the basic ideas of physical science.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture, two hours of laboratory, and one hour of discussion/recitation per week. Prerequisite: MATH112 or MATH115. The first part of a two-semester course in general physics treating the fields of mechanics, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. Together with PHYS122, this generally satisfies the minimum requirement of medical and dental schools.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture, two hours of laboratory, and one hour of discussion/recitation per week. Prerequisite: PHYS121 or equivalent. A continuation of PHYS121, which together with it, generally satisfies the minimum requirement of medical and dental schools.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture, two hours of laboratory, and one hour of discussion/recitation per week. Corequisite: MATH141 or MATH221. Credit will not be granted for PHYS171 and PHYS161 or PHYS141 or former PHYS191. The first of a two-semester series in general physics. The first semester covers the fields of mechanics, thermodynamics, and special relativity. This survey course will use calculus and is recommended for chemistry and zoology majors. It also satisfies the requirements of medical and dental schools.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS141 or equivalent. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: PHYS142, PHYS260 and PHYS261 (formerly: PHYS262) or PHYS272. A continuation of PHYS141 covering waves, electricity and magnetism, optics and modern physics.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and one hour of discussion/recitation per week. Pre- or corequisite: MATH141. Credit will not be granted for PHYS171 and PHYS161 or PHYS141 or former PHYS191. First semester of a three-semester calculus-based general physics course. Laws of motion, force, and energy; principles of mechanics, collisions, linear momentum, rotation, and gravitation.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS141, PHYS161 or PHYS171; or 3-5 on AP PHYS exam. Introduction to programming using examples in the physical sciences. Provides instruction in the techniques of upper-level languages such as Fortran, C, and Pascal, as well as an introduction to the object oriented programming techniques used in Python, C++ and Java. Includes strong component of visualization and graphing.
