Why does a car slip when it corners too quickly? How does electricity light a bulb? What is happening as an astronaut orbits the Earth? This course introduces ideas that answer each of these questions and more. It is a comprehensive study of the basic pillars of physics that describe and explain the world around us: motion, force, energy, electromagnetism, and optical phenomena. While this course is a problem-solving course, its focus is on the concepts of physics rather than on detailed quantitative analysis. This course is intended for beginning students of physics who have not had a recent course in physics at the high school or college level. The laboratory associated with this course emphasizes measurement, interpretation of data, and synthesis of results. Prerequisite(s): Course placement into MATH 0070 or above or completion of MATH 0030 or MATH 0060 with a grade of C or higher.

3.00 Credits
Astronomy Concepts offers an overview of the science of the cosmos. The course covers a wide variety of topics: the Earth-Moon-Sun system, the solar system, stars, galaxies, and cosmology. The course is purely conceptual. Mathematical expressions are used only in a conceptual way to express relationships between various astronomical and physics ideas. Students will write research papers on approved topics in astronomy throughout the semester. Lab-like activities afford students the opportunity to make observations that allow them to interpret and refine their own models of how the cosmos is put together. Restriction: Closed to students who have completed PHYS 1070 or PHYS 1035.

3.00 Credits
Observational Astronomy introduces the student to the basic ideas of astronomy in the context of measurement and analysis. Students will be offered the chance to make observations on a variety of astronomical topics, such as lunar observations, unaided-eye observations of the stars, and indirect observations of solar phenomena. The lecture part of the class links these observations to their scientific foundation as well as introducing the student to the methods of analysis that will be used to draw conclusions from their observations. This is a laboratory course that makes use of student observations of celestial phenomena. Prerequisite(s): Course placement into MATH 0070 or higher or completion of MATH 0030 or MATH 0060 with a grade of C or higher. Restriction: Closed to students who have completed PHYS 1030.
-
5.00 Credits
This is the first course in a sequence that introduces the topics of mechanics using the mathematical techniques of algebra and trigonometry. Students will investigate kinematics, forces, momentum, circular motion, work/energy, and rotational dynamics. The course is problem-based, focusing on quantitative analysis of physics problems. It includes a computer-based laboratory component in which students will collect, analyze, and interpret data. This course requires basic skills in trigonometric functions. Prerequisite(s): Course placement into MATH 1061 or above, or completion of MATH 0070 or MATH 0090 or MATH 1015 with a grade of C or higher.
-
5.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of PHYS 1041, introducing many of the remaining topics in classical physics. This course in general physics introduces the topics of thermodynamics, optics, waves, and electricity. It includes a computer-based laboratory component where students collect, analyze, and interpret data. Prerequisite(s): PHYS 1041 with a grade of C or higher.
-
5.00 Credits
This course is the first of a comprehensive two-semester sequence in introductory physics. The topics of kinematics, vectors, rotational motion, gravity, energy, and oscillatory motion are introduced at the level of calculus. The course presents these topics as a foundation for further studies in science while at the same time developing problem-solving skills that will be useful for students in practically any endeavor they choose to undertake. Prerequisite(s): Course placement into MATH 1081 or completion of MATH 1062 with a grade of C or higher. Recommendation(s): Concurrently enrolled in MATH 1081.
-
5.00 Credits
This course is the second course in a comprehensive two-semester sequence in introductory physics. The topics of wave motion, geometric optics, and electricity and magnetism are introduced at the level of calculus. The course presents these topics as a foundation for further studies in science while at the same time developing problem-solving skills that will be useful for students in practically any endeavor they choose to undertake. Prerequisite(s): PHYS 1081 and MATH 1081. Recommendation(s): Concurrently enrolled in MATH 1082.
-
4.00 Credits
Modern physics is the study of physics since the turn of the twentieth century. The two great theories of twentieth century physics are Einstein's Theory of Relativity and the Quantum Theory. The emphasis of this course will be on giving students a thorough understanding of these two complex topics as well as helping students gain an understanding of how these two theories apply to atomic and molecular structure and to condensed matter physics. Other topics such as nuclear physics, elementary particles physics, or astrophysics may also be covered. Prerequisite(s): PHYS 1082 and MATH 1082.
