-
3.00 Credits
A study of all matter and energy in the universe, emphasizing the concentration of this matter and energy in evolving bodies such as planets, stars, and galaxies. Topics include the sun, solar systems, stars, black holes, pulsars, supernova and quasars. Credit, 3 semester hours.
-
1.00 Credits
Astronomical observations and principles of experimentation, includes knowledge of the sky and its motions, optics, star and galaxy properties both with real physical experiments and computer simulations. Hands-on laboratory, usually held in the evenings so the heavens can be observed on clear nights. This course is often taken simultaneously with Astronomy 1560. Credit, 1 semester hour. PREREQ: enrollment in or completion of PHS 1560.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of atmospheric elements and controls, weather analysis and forecasting, and air pollution issues. Also includes a survey of world climate regions and applications of climate data. Credit, 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
In an essentially descriptive fashion this course describes the nature of: motion and its causes, energy, momentum, theory of relativity, heat and temperature, pressure, sound, and others. Credit, 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
In the fashion of PHY 1010, this course describes the nature of electricity and magnetism, light and optical devices, and the atom (what we now know and what we believe we can't know). Credit, 3 semester hours. PREREQ: It is helpful (but not required) to have taken PHY 1000 as background for this course.
-
2.00 Credits
A broad survey of topics related to the role computers play in science. No special knowledge is required of the student as the course is meant as an introduction to anyone interested in how computers are used in the field of science. Topics will include design and function of the PC, data collection and analysis, the Internet, Fortran programming, and basic word processing. Credit, 2 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
A treatment of the subject matter of general physics (listed, in part, under 1000, 1010) at a level of thoroughness expected in such curricula as pre med, biochemistry, etc. (for pre engineering or physics curricula see PHY 2000, 2010). Credit, 3 semester hours each. PREREQ: for PHY 1500, MAT 1070 or equivalent; for PHY 1510, completion of PHY 1500.
-
1.00 Credits
A student laboratory to complement and reinforce the physical relationships discussed in the lecture classes. Credit, 1 semester hr. each. PREREQ: for PHY 1560, enrollment in or completion of PHY 1000 or 1500; for PHY 1570, enrollment in or completion of PHY 1010 or 1510.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of Classical Newtonian mechanics with an emphasis on Newton's three laws of motion. This calculus-based course describes the nature of motion, forces, energy, momentum, collisions, rotation, gravitation, sound, and heat. A beginning course expected in such curricula as pre-engineering, physics, etc. Credit, 3 semester hours. PREREQ OR COREQ: MAT 2210.
-
3.00 Credits
A calculus-based study of electricity, magnetism, optics, relativity, quantum and nuclear physics. A beginning course expected in such curricula as pre-engineering, physics, etc. Credit, 3 semester hours. PREREQ: PHY 2000.
