    This course is designed to provide digital media majors with an accurate conceptual framework for understanding the underlying physical principles governing the behavior of moving objects and the phenomena associated with light and sound waves. Topics will include the kinematics of motion, Newton's laws of motion, energy and momentum and wave mechanics and interference effects of light and sound. Applications involving acoustic and optical technology are presented. This course will not fulfill requirements for pre-professional science programs, chemistry, or physics majors. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Cross listed with DM 110. Prerequisite: MTH 106 or two years of high school algebra. (Offered fall semester of odd calendar years.)
  • 4.00 Credits

    A calculus-based introductory physics course that covers kinematics and Newton's laws of motion; conservation laws for momentum, energy, and angular momentum; torques and static equilibrium; simple harmonic motion. (Three hours lecture, two hours of lab and one hour of tutorial per week.) Cross listed with PHY 120C. Prerequisite: High school physics or PHY 102, and high school mathematics through calculus or currently enrolled in MTH 115. (Offered fall semester.)

    An algebra-based introductory physics course that covers kinematics and Newton's laws of motion; conservation laws for momentum, energy, and angular momentum; torques and static equilibrium; and simple harmonic motion. (Three hours of lecture, two hours of lab and one hour of tutorial per week.) Cross listed with PHY 120. Prerequisite: MTH 111 or equivalent . (Offered fall semester.)
  • 4.00 Credits

    The student is introduced to the basic characteristics of electronic devices that can be used for simple circuits which become the building blocks for more complex equipment. Topics include DC and AC circuits, transistors and amplifiers. Power supplies and digital logic circuits, both foundational to state-of-the-art electronics, will also be explored. This course should be beneficial to students in communication, digital media, and the sciences. Three hours lecture and three hours lab per week. Prerequisite: MTH 111. (Offered spring semester of odd calendar years.)
