4.00 Credits
Spring semester, alternate years. 4 semester hours. Students examine a survey of the laws and phenomena of classical and modern physics, including light, electricity, magnetism, and atomic and nuclear physics. This course is suitable for non-science majors who have a strong background in high school algebra and who wish a more rigorous understanding of physics than provided in most courses for non-science majors. This course will satisfy the requirements of geology and biology majors. Students considering graduate work in these areas should take PHS201 and PHS202 instead. Three lecture periods and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: PHS101.

4.00 Credits
4 semester hours. A survey of the laws and phenomena of classical physics, including motion, force, energy, momentum, waves, and thermodynamics. This course is algebra-based, and is intended for aviation majors. Others admitted with permission of instructor when space allows. Three lecture periods and one two-hour laboratory period per week. Prerequisite: proficiency in high school algebra and trigonometry or MAT110.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall semester. 4 semester hours. This course is a calculus-based introduction to the laws and phenomena of classical physics, including force and motion, energy and momentum, their conservation laws, and their oscillations. This sequence is required for chemistry majors and engineering students and is recommended for mathematics, biology, and geology students. Three lecture periods and one two-hour laboratory per week. Corequisite: MAT175.

4.00 Credits
Spring semester. 4 semester hours. This course is a calculus-based introduction to the laws and phenomena of classical physics, including mechanics, waves, light, electricity, and magnetism. This sequence is required for chemistry majors and engineering students and is recommended for mathematics, biology, and geology students. Three lecture periods and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: PHS201; corequisite: MAT176.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
On demand. 1-2 semester hours. Builds on students' experience in introductory labs with more complex and sophisticated experiments selected by students in consultation with the instructor. Emphasis will be on experimental design, analysis, and presentation of results. The course will be available every semester on a directed independent study basis. Students may work alone or in teams of two or three students. Prerequisite: permission of professor.
-
3.00 Credits
On demand. 3 semester hours. Required for engineering students; involves a thorough analysis of forces and stresses on particles, rigid bodies, structures, and fluids in static equilibrium. Three lecture periods per week. Prerequisite: PHS201.
-
3.00 Credits
On demand. 3 semester hours. Required for engineering students; involves a thorough analysis of the kinematics and kinetics of particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies. Three lecture periods per week. Prerequisite: PHS3 10.
-
2.00 Credits
Fall semester, alternate years. 2 semester hours. Students are introduced to Einstein's theory of relativity with emphasis on the special theory. Prerequisite: PHS201.
-
2.00 Credits
Spring semester, alternate years. 2 semester hours. Students are introduced to quantum mechanics, including the historical evolution of the theory. Emphasis will be on the wave mechanical formulation of the theory and Schr?dinger's equation. Topics such as quantum tunneling and atoms will be analyzed. The impact of quantum theory on the scientific worldview will be considered. Prerequisite: PHS202.
-
2.00 Credits
Fall semester, alternate years. 2 semester hours. Introduction to nuclear physics, including theory, experiments, and nuclear processes, as well as a survey of modern particle physics, including quantum chromodynamics. Prerequisite: PHS202.
