3.00 Credits
This traditional course considers the basic experimental laws of mechanics as stated by Sir Isaac Newton and the development of the mathematical formalism that describes these laws. Specific topics include motion of a particle in one dimension, harmonic oscillation, motion in three dimensions, a noninertial reference system, and a central force field. A brief introduction of Lagrangian mechanics is included. Prerequisites: grades of C or better in PHYS 330 and MATH 241. Credit, 3 hours. Offered fall semester of odd years.
-
3.00 Credits
This traditional course develops the mathematical formalism of Maxwell's equations from basic experimental laws of electricity and magnetism. Specific topics include the electrostatics of conductors and dielectrics, energy considerations electrodynamics electromagnetism, and magnetism. Prerequisites: grades of C or better in PHYS 330 and MATH 241. Credit, 3 hours. Offered fall semester of even years.
-
3.00 Credits
This application course describes the theory and applications of lasers beginning with the underlying electromagnetic theory. Laser action in terms of photon emission and population inversion is developed from atomic structure and quantum statistics. A variety of lasers are described both in terms of their design and application. Prerequisites: grades of C or better in PHYS 335 and MATH 430 (may be concurrent). Credit, 3 hours. Offered spring semester of even years.
-
3.00 Credits
This application course explores the nucleus of the atom and how its properties can be applied. Specific topics include nuclear physical properties, nuclear reactions, decay, fission, fusion, and interaction of radiation with matter. Applications of these topics include nucleosynthesis, nuclear reactors, radioactive dating, and biological effects of nuclear radiation. Prerequisites: grades of C or better in PHYS 335 and MATH 430 (may be concurrent). Credit, 3 hours. Offered spring semester of odd years.
-

This course explores selected topics in physics. Topics may include thermodynamics, optics, Lagrangian mechanics, electromagnetic fields and waves, waves and vibrations, relativity, robotics, statistical physics, quantum mechanics, computational physics, medical physics, experimental physics, atomic physics, honors research, or current research areas of interest. Prerequisite: Topic dependent. Credit, 1 to 3 hours. Offered only as needed as determined by physics faculty.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will help aspiring law students to know what to expect in law school, to examine potential legal careers, to prepare to take the Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT), and to gain practical knowledge in skills essential to success in law school, including writing briefs, locating and understanding case law, using libraries and Internet legal resources. Various legal landmark cases will be examined and the class will engage in mock trial or moot court. Recommended for juniors and seniors considering law school. Offered fall semesters.
-
