PHYS 201: Physics by Inquiry
4.00 Credits
University of San Francisco
Physics by Inquiry provides a step-by-step introduction to physics and the physical sciences. Through in-depth study of simple physical systems and their interactions, students gain direct experience with the process of science. Starting from their own observations, students develop basic physical concepts, use and interpret different forms of scientific representations, and construct explanatory models with predictive capability.

PHYS 240: Modern Physics
4.00 Credits
University of San Francisco
Prerequisite: PHYS - 210. Corequisite: MATH - 211. An introduction to the physics of the twentieth century for students who have completed the General Physics sequence and three semesters of Calculus. The course focuses on two major developments: relativistic and quantum physics. Topics include an in-depth study of the special theory of relativity, an introduction to the general theory of relativity, a survey of the experimental basis of quantum physics, and an introduction to the old quantum theory, to Schr dinger quantum mechanics, and to quantum statistics. Applications include the hydrogen atom, the periodic table, and examples from atomic, molecular, solid-state, and nuclear physics. The course ends with an overview of elementary particles and cosmology. Offered every Fall.

PHYS 301: Computational Physics
4.00 Credits
University of San Francisco
Prerequisite: PHYS - 240. An introduction to the use of computer simulations in Physics. It builds upon the physical principles covered in General Physics, using computer models and numerical techniques (such as the Runge-Kutta, Gear, Crank-Nicholson, and Montecarlo methods, among others) to simulate physical situations. In addition, new topics such as chaos, fractals, and neural networks, and some elements of statistical physics (random walks and Ising model) are introduced. No previous familiarity with programming languages is assumed. The aims of the course also include learning the C, OpenGL, and Mathematica programming languages. Two hours lecture and two hours lab weekly. Offered every Fall.

PHYS 310: Analytical Mechanics
4.00 Credits
University of San Francisco
Prerequisite: PHYS - 210. Corequisite: MATH - 211. General theory of three formulations of classical mechanics: Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian. Introduction to the calculus of variations. Applications include linear oscillations, non-linear oscillations, gravitation, and central-force motion. Emphasis is placed on those concepts that provide a transition to quantum mechanics. Offered in the Fall of even-numbered years.
