-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Selected topics for undergraduate independent study. Subject matter to be arranged. May be repeated up to 7 total credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
For nonscience majors. Reading, discussions, debates, and lectures are used to study how science affects society economically, intellectually, and in terms of health and national security. Another focus is how government fosters and funds scientific activities. Recommended prereq., completion of core science requirement. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: critical thinking.
-
3.00 Credits
Teaches strategies used in scientific writing with an emphasis on argument, reviews and reinforces essential writing skills, provides experience in writing both academic and professional communications in a style appropriate to the literature of physics. Prereqs., PHYS 2130 or 2170 and lower-division core writing requirement. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: written communication.
-
3.00 Credits
Contemporary issues in energy consumption and its environmental impact, including fossil fuel use and depletion; nuclear energy and waste disposal; solar, wind, hydroelectric, and other renewable sources; home heating; energy storage; fuel cells; and alternative transportation vehicles. Included are some basic physical concepts and principles that often constrain choices. No background in physics is required. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science. Same as ENVS 3070.
-
3.00 Credits
Lagrangian and Hamiltonian treatment of theoretical mechanics, including coupled oscillations, waves in continuous media, central force motion, rigid body motion and fluid dynamics. The calculus of variations, linear algebra, tensor algebra, vector calculus, and partial differential equations will be introduced in the context of the mechanics. Prereqs., PHYS 2210, APPM 2360, or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits

Develops a quantitative description of one-electron atoms in lowest order. Prereqs., PHYS 2130 or 2170, 2210, and 3210.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism, including electrostatics, magnetostatics, and polarized media, and provides an introduction to electromagnetic fields, waves, and special relativity. Prereqs., PHYS 2210 and 2130 or 2170.
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of PHYS 3310. Electromagnetic induction; magnetic energy; microscopic theory of magnetic properties; AC circuits; Maxwell's Equations; plane waves; waveguides and transmission lines; radiation from electric and magnetic dipoles and from an accelerated charge. Prereq., PHYS 3310.
-
2.00 Credits
One lect. and one three-hour lab per week. Introduces laboratory electronics for physical science students. Includes basic electronic instruments, dc bridge circuits, operational amplifiers, bipolar transistors, field-effect transistors, photodiodes, noise in electronic circuits, digital logic, and microcontrollers. Students gain hands-on experience in designing, building, and debugging circuits. Concludes with a three-week project in which students design and build an experiment of their choice and present a seminar on the results. Prereq., PHYS 2150 and 2130 or 2170.
