1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 315 and MAT 135 (or waiver), or concurrent enrollment; OR permission of instructor Offered: Typically every Fall Term This course stresses applications of Mathematical methods and techniques to Physics that are needed in the physical sciences. Topics generally include: simple functions of applied math, quadratic and higher-power equations, simultaneous equations, matrices, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, geometry, vectors, complex numbers, series and approximations, differential operators, and simple integration. Four hours of lectures each week. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Determined by course instructor Offered: Typically as student interest and faculty availability allow A course designed to meet the particular interests of student and faculty. Topics vary from year to year. See course description in the "Schedule of Classes." NOTE: Studies in a specialized area of instructor's and student's interest, such as solid-state physics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, optics, radiation physics, etc. Laboratory and discussion sessions will be stressed, with students largely responsible for the progress of the course. 1/2 to 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT 135 (or waiver) or concurrent enrollment Offered: Typically every Spring Term This is the first half of a two-course sequence in classical physics with calculus. The focus of the first term is classical mechanics, with emphasis on the relationship between force, momentum, and energy. Topics to be covered include Newtonian dynamics, fundamental forces, conservation of momentum and energy, and rotational motion. Three one-hour lectures and one two-hour laboratory each week. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 315 and MAT 225, or concurrent enrollment Offered: Typically every Fall Term A continuation of the introductory sequence in classical physics with calculus. The second term will focus on the phenomena of electromagnetism and waves. Topics include wave motion, electrostatics, electric and magnetic fields, fundamentals of DC circuits, and electromagnetism. Three one-hour lectures and one two-hour laboratory each week. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 316 and MAT 135 (or waiver); OR permission of instructor Offered: Typically annually (next offered Spring 2010) This course provides an introduction to topics in 20th century physics including relativity, introductory quantum mechanics, and atomic and nuclear physics. Other topics of interest may be covered as time allows. Four one-hour lectures each week. 1 Course Credit

1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 225 (formerly PHY 325) and MAT 225; OR permission of instructor Offered: Typically every Spring Term A course of applied mathematics and techniques often required in physics. Topics may vary, but will generally include partial differential equations and boundary value problems, Fourier analysis and integral transforms, complex integration, group representations, matrices, and determinants. Four hours of lectures each week. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 316 or permission of instructor; AND MAT 225 Offered: Typically as student interest and faculty availability allow The wave nature of light is presented and optical phenomena explained in terms of the model.

-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHY 218 Offered: Typically as student interest and faculty availability allow A laboratory course dealing with some of the important experimental techniques in modern physics involving experience with such things as vacuum systems; electronic design and shop construction; classical experiments in contemporary physics; and independent research projects. One three-hour laboratory session each week. May be repeated for credit for sequential or differing learning experiences. 1/4 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 315 and MAT 225; OR permission of instructor Offered: Typically as student interest and faculty availability allow An intermediate course covering classical thermodynamics and the methods of statistical mechanics. Topics covered include the first and second laws of thermodynamics, with applications, statistical theory of entropy, and classical and quantum ensembles. Four one-hour lectures each week. 1 Course Credit
