-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 3101 and PHY 3221. This course serves as an introduction to star formation, evolution, and death through simple theoretical modeling and through a strong emphasis on the underlying physics concepts.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: AST 4211. This seminar introduces students to current research topics in astronomy and astrophysics through presentation and discussion of recently published research papers, their own research work, and occasional review publications. Topics cover observational and theoretical astrophysics alike. May be repeated to a maximum of two semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: AST 4211 and PHY 3101. This course covers the evolution of the universe from the "Hot Big Bang" to the current epoch. Topics include cosmological expansion, the Hubble constant and other cosmological parameters, the microwave background radiation, early universe nucleosynthesis, the growth of large-scale structure, the "dark ages" and the re-ionization of the universe, the horizon and other fine-tuning problems, distance determinations, redshift surveys, inflation, cosmological acceleration, as well as dark matter and dark energy.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: AST 4211. This course offers a survey of the physics and phenomenology of galaxies and galaxy structures. Topics include stellar populations, classifications systems, interstellar and intergalactic material, chemical abundances and evolution, galaxy formation, structure, dynamics and evolution, extragalactic distance determination, interacting systems, as well as active galactic nuclei.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: AST 4211. This course covers principles and techniques used in obtaining modern astronomical data. Includes an overview of current and next-generation astronomical instrumentation, discussion of calibration schemes and observing strategies, and an introduction to analysis techniques.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 2200C. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, three hours, alternating with one hour recitation. A survey of modern biochemistry with special emphasis on those concepts that might be of use to nutrition and food scientists.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 2210. Corequisite: CHM 2211. While this course is the first course required for biochemistry majors, it is also recommended for other majors who intend to study advanced biochemistry. Topics include the structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids, membranes, other cellular constituents; enzyme catalysis bioenergetics; as well as carbohydrate metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. This lecture-based course meets three hours a week.
-
3.00 Credits
Corequisite: BCH 4053. Laboratory conference, one hour; laboratory, six hours. This lab explores laboratory methods in biochemistry including electrophoresis, chromatography, cell fractionation, enzyme assays, ligand interactions, and recombinant DNA technology.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BCH 4053. While this course is the second course required for biochemistry majors, it is also recommended for other majors who intend to study advanced biochemistry. Topics include intermediary metabolism as well as the structure and expression of genetic information. This lecture-based course meets three hours a week.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHM 2211 or consent of instructor. This course is intended for pre-professional students who are not majoring in biochemistry; it covers the main concepts of biochemistry at same level as BCH 4053/4 but presents them at an accelerated pace. Topics include molecular structure, bioenergetics, enzymology and enzyme regulation, metabolism, as well as gene expression and regulation. This lecture-based course meets four hours a week..
