(3 credits)(=RELG*354) This course surveys the rich traditions of Buddhist philosophy from its origins in India to the present. In the process, we examine topics in Buddhist epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of action, and philosophy of mind. We pay particular attention to the arguments that Buddhist philosophers used to defend their views and respond to their critics. In addition to understanding these arguments in their historical contexts, we ask what we can learn from them today and investigate how some of them are being engaged with contemporary philosophy. Offered as needed

(3 credits)(Coreq: PHYS*104L) Important political and economic decisions increasingly required scientific thinking and technological knowledge: Alternative energy, climate change terrorism, nuclear weapons, health hazards, surveillance, space exploration, and more. This course introduces students to the key concepts in the physical sciences that are necessary to understand these and many other complex national security issues where future leaders will be called upon to make hard decisions. The course uses limited mathematics as necessary, cutting straight to the core concepts necessary to inform decision-making. Students conduct demonstration experiments, participate in dicussions and debates, and role-play through topical scenarios. F,S
Prerequisite:
Take PHYS*104L;

(1 credit)(Coreq: PHYS*104) Important political and economic decisions increasingly require scientific thinking and technological knowledge: Alternative energy, climate change, terrorism, nuclear weapons, health hazards, surveillance, space exploration, and more. This course demonstrates the scientific principles taught in the lecture PHYS*104. The emphasis is on the scientific process using hands-on active learning techniques, learning fundamental physics concepts. F,S
Prerequisite:
Take PHYS*104;
-
3.00 Credits
(3)(Coreq: PHYS 137L) This course is an introduction to the development, testing, analysis, and interpretation of models of physical systems. Through hands-on laboratory activities, students use scientific reasoning and the process of science to discover for themselves physical models that predict behavior for common, everyday applications, such as electric circuits, light, magnets, motion, and energy. The focus of the course is on how science is used as a tool towards understanding our physical world, and specifically serves as an introduction to how science is done within the context of physics. F,S.
Prerequisite:
Take PHYS*137L(7136);
-
1.00 Credits
(1)(Coreq: PHYS 137) This course is the laboratory component of PHYS 137. Through hands-on activities, students use scientific reasoning and the process of science to discover for themselves physical models that predict behavior for common, everyday applications, such as electric circuits, light, magnets, motion, and energy. F,S.
Prerequisite:
Take PHYS*137(7135);
-
3.00 Credits
(3) (Prereq: MATH 131 or MATH 135 or by Mathematics Placement) (Coreq: PHYS 205L) The first of a two-semester sequence intended to introduce life science majors to the concepts of physics in a biological context. Topics include Mechanics, Energy, Fluid and Waves. This three-credit lecture and one-credit lab combine for six hours of in-class work each week. F, S.
