1.00 Credits
Corequisite: MATH140. Recommended: high school physics. Provides a look at some of the major developments of current interest in physics research and discusses the activities physicists undertake in research, education, industry, government, and other areas of the economy.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH140 and a high school physics course or permission of department. Corequisite: MATH141. Credit will not be granted for PHYS171 and PHYS161 or PHYS141 or former PHYS191. First semester of a three semester sequence for physics majors and those desiring a rigorous preparation in the physical sciences: kinematics, Newton's laws, energy and work, linear and angular momenta, temperature and pressure, ideal gas law, and special relativity.
-
1.00 Credits
Three hours of laboratory per week. Corequisite: MATH140. Recommended: high school physics. Introduces students to the techniques of data gathering and analysis. This course will lay a foundation for higher-level labs in physics and the physical sciences. Students will learn to use laboratory equipment such as calipers, meters, oscilloscopes, and computer interfaces. Techniques of measurement and error analysis will be presented. Students will be taught to use the computer for data analysis with an emphasis on using spreadsheets.
