Prerequisite: PHIL - 315 or permission of instructor. An intensive study of selected problems in ethics. Subject matter will vary with instructor. May be repeated for credit each time a different topic is covered. Offered intermittently.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: either high school Physics or Chemistry; one and one-half years of high school algebra and trigonometry. This is the first course in the two-semester sequence of algebra-based physics for the life sciences. Mechanics, properties of matter, fluids, heat, waves, and sound. Three hours lecture and three hours lab weekly. Offered every Fall.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS - 100. This is the second course in the two-semester sequence of algebra-based physics for the life sciences. Electricity and magnetism, light, and modern physics. Three hours lecture and three hours lab weekly. Offered every Spring.
-
4.00 Credits
This is the first course in the two-semester fundamental sequence of calculus-based physics. It is designed to meet the needs of the student whose major is Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Computer Science; in addition, it is recommended for Biology and Environmental Science majors who would prefer a stronger physics background than is provided by PHYS 100-101. Introduction to Newtonian mechanics of particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies. Special topics include oscillations and gravitation. Three hours lecture and three hours lab weekly. Offered every Fall.
-
4.00 Credits
An exploration of the universe, from the Earth to the most distant galaxies, touching upon the fundamental scientific principles that explain the order that characterizes the cosmos. The course includes a number of foundational topics such as gravitation, light, and atomic structure, as well as the history of astronomy and its impact on the development of science and technology. The course mainly focuses on stars and galaxies and includes observation nights. Three hours lecture and two hours lab weekly. Offered every semester.
-
4.00 Credits
Planetary Astronomy is an introductory course that covers the modern scientific knowledge of the astronomical bodies of the solar system, including the Sun, the planets, their moons, comets and asteroids. Basic concepts of astronomy will be introduced as necessary, and cutting-edge topics including planets around other stars, space-based missions to discover such planets and astrobiology will also be covered briefly. The course includes observation nights. Three hours lecture and two hours lab weekly. Offered every semester.
-
4.00 Credits
The Geometry of the Cosmos: Einstein, Black Holes & the Big Bang" is an introduction to the geometry of the cosmos for non-science majors, centered on black holes and the Big Bang, as described by Einstein's Universe: general relativity. Problems related to gravitation, space, time, and contemporary astronomy and cosmology are considered. No math or physics prerequisites.
-
4.00 Credits
A self-contained introduction to Physics for students who do not need the depth and rigor of courses for science majors. It includes a number of foundational topics, such as the laws of motion, the universal principles of conservation, gravitation, and the properties of matter, light and sound. The course is based on the conceptual approach, although it contains a mathematical component. Lecture sessions will also include a number of additional elements, such as hands-on demonstrations of physical phenomena, computer-simulated physical experiments and videos. Three hours lecture and two hours lab weekly. Offered every Fall.
-
4.00 Credits
While their methods may differ radically, artists and scientists share the drive to investigate the ways in which disparate pieces of Nature fit together. This course will attempt to bridge those seemingly distinct worlds, using art and music to present physics and mathematics. Within a background of artistic masterpieces, we will explore sound, light, color, and how the brain perceives them. We'll dissect musical instruments, photographic cameras, and paintings. We will also learn to discern mathematical structures within pieces of artistic expression.
