3.00 Credits
An intensive examination of philosophers, topics, issues, theories or themes conducted as a seminar. Specific subject matter will be announced each time this course is taught. Open only to Honors students. Three lecture hours per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of PHS101A, examining additional topics in physical science. There will be an emphasis on the process of scientific investigation and the development of scientific concepts, reasoning skills, and mathematical modeling. Topics may include electricity, and magnetism; atomic and chemical structure; the properties of light; and observational astronomy. Three lecture hours, and one two-hour laboratory per week. Not open to students who have received credits for PHS106 or PHS102. Prerequisite: PHS101A or PHS101 or PHS105.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the fundamental concepts and techniques of acoustics, particularly as applied to the performing arts. Topics will include a description of waves and wave motion; frequency and pitch; interference, standing, waves, and resonance; intensity levels and loudness. The course will also explore the fundamentals of musical instruments, including stringed instruments, woodwinds, and percussion. Three lecture hours and one two-hour laboratory period per week. Together with PHS101A or PHS211A or PHS221 this course satisfies the Laboratory Sequence. Prerequisite: PHS101A or PHS211A or PHS221.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to D.C. circuit analysis and digital logic design. Topics include: D.C. circuit analysis, fundamental building blocks of modern computers (binary number system, Boolean algebra, logic gates, logic circuits), counters and registers, integrated circuit logic, methods of analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversions, computer organization (CPU and main memory, read-only memory, cache storage, buses, serial and parallel communication), and secondary storage media such as magnetic and optical disks. Four lecture hours per week. Co-requisite: MAT110 or equivalent.
