3.00 Credits
3 credits Most of today's geoscience problems can be represented in mathematical form as ordinary and partial differential equations. Course provides an opportunity for students to understand the physical aspects of geoscientific phenomena using mathematical methods as tools. Prerequisites: MAT 212, MAT 214, and CIS 103.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Description and theory of atmospheric and oceanic motion: analysis of forces; accelerated reference frames; conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy; scaling; pressure coordinates; geostropic and gradient flow; thermal wind; trajectories; circulation and vorticity. Prerequisites: PHY 355.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Physical principles of seismic, hydrological and atmospheric instruments, static and dynamic performance characteristics, use of data loggers in instrumentation and in measurement systems. Prerequisites: CIS 103, MAT 211, and PHY 121.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Physical concepts of electronics, basic test instruments, electronics mathematics, DC and AC circuit analysis, measurement errors, linear circuits, digital electronics, systems, solid state electronics, components and transducers. Prerequisites: PHY 112 or PHY 123.
-
0.00 Credits
0 credit This course satisfies the University community service requirements. Students will examine how physics affects society and how society affects physics. They will examine and practice ways to address community problems and concerns using their background in physics. At least fifteen (15) hours of community service are required. This course may be repeated. Only one (1) semester is required.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits The concepts and methods of classical thermodynamics and its relation to statistical mechanics. Topics include thermodynamic laws, kinetic theory, and thermodynamic functions and their application to simple systems. Three (3) one-hour lectures per week. Prerequisite: PHY 321.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Concepts of wave particle duality, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, and Schr?dinger's Wave Equation, with applications to potential problems of the hydrogen atom and atomic spectra, first-order perturbation theory, spin orbit interaction, and particle theory. Three (3) one-hour lectures per week. Prerequisite: PHY 332.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits each Individual exposure to the methodology of experimental and theoretical research in physics. Experiments emphasize modern physical techniques and require considerable independent reading and investigation. Theoretical and computational research require strong math- and computer-related skills. Individual schedules are arranged at the beginning of the term, depending on the student's interest and experience. Prerequisite: permission of Department chairperson.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Professional work experience for students during the summer months. Interns may work in Atlanta, or in other locations. To receive academic credit for internship, students must secure approval from the Department chairperson, who will arrange internships with project monitors at specific work sites. Students who do not follow this procedure will not receive internship academic credit.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Energy budget and radiation balance near the surface; air temperature, humidity and wind distribution in the atmospheric boundary layer; viscous flows and turbulence; neutral boundary layers, momentum and heat exchanges with homogeneous surfaces; nonhomogeneous, boundary layers, agricultural and forest meteorology. Prerequisite: PHY 375.
