Spring semester of even-numbered calendar year "Modern physics" is distinguished from "classical physics" not only by its youth (dating from about 1900) but also by its description of phenomena in startlingly different ways. The basic new theories are relativity and quantum mechanics, which form the basis for the description of "elementary particles," nuclei, atoms, molecules and matter in its various states. This course begins with a study of special relativity and then turns to quantum theory, describing the empirical discoveries leading to each. Emphasis is placed on the meaning of these theories. Applications of quantum theory to the study of atoms, molecules and solids are studied. Prerequisites: PH 2900 and MT 1810 Calculus
-
3.00 Credits
This course deals with the Schrodinger equation and its implications: operators, eigenvalues and the interpretation of the wave function.

-
3.00 Credits
Fall and Spring semester An introduction to the practice of philosophy which distinguishes philosophical understanding from other ways of knowing, through the investigation of ultimate questions about reality, including human reality. The course includes a philosophical examination of appearance and reality; knowledge and truth; and of issues such as the existence of God, freedom, immortality, personal identity, and the meaning of life.
