-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisite: MATH 102 or MATH 123 or permission of instructor. This is the first course in a two (2) semester algebra-level sequence, covering fundamental concepts of physics. This sequence is appropriate for preprofessional majors requiring two (2) semesters of physics. Topics include classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and waves. SDSM&T covers classical mechanics only. May not be used for credit toward an engineering or science degree (except interdisciplinary science, geology (paleontology emphasis), and associate of arts).
-
1.00 Credits
(0-1)1 credit. Prerequisite or corequisite: PHYS 111. This laboratory accompanies PHYS 111. May not be used for credit toward an engineering or science degree (except interdisciplinary science, geology (paleontology emphasis), and associate of arts).
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisite: PHYS 111. This course is the second course in a two (2) semester algebra-level sequence, covering fundamental concepts of physics. Topics include electricity and magnetism, sound, light, optics, and some modern physics concepts. SDSM&T course covers electricity and magnetism only. May not be used for credit toward an engineering or science degree (except interdisciplinary science, geology - paleontology emphasis and associate of arts).
-
1.00 Credits
(0-1) 1 credit. Prerequisite or corequisite: PHYS 113 This laboratory accompanies PHYS 113. May not be used for credit toward an engineering or science degree (except interdisciplinary science, geology - paleontology emphasis, and associate of arts).
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. This course presents a broad view of astronomy in a straightforward and descriptive manner without complex mathematics. It introduces students to basic concepts and the historic and modern foundations of the science of astronomy. Students will gain some insight into the basic physics underlying conclusions drawn from observational and theoretical astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology. The course provides descriptions of a wide variety of objects found in the universe, from gas and dust particles of stars, planets, and galactic clusters.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisite: MATH 123 or permission of instructor. This is the first course in a two (2) semester calculus-level sequence, covering fundamental concepts of physics. This is the preferred sequence for students majoring in physical science or engineering. Topics include classical mechanics and thermodynamics. SDSM&T course covers classical mechanics only.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisite: PHYS 211. This course is the second course in a two (2) semester calculus-level sequence, covering fundamental concepts of physics. This is the preferred sequence for students majoring in physical science or engineering. Topics include electricity and magnetism, sound, light, and optics. SDSM&T course covers electricity and magnetism only.
-
1.00 Credits
(0-1) 1 credit. Prerequisite or corequisite: PHYS 213. This laboratory accompanies PHYS 213. Introduction to physical phenomena and measurements. Recording and processing data, determining uncertainties, reporting results. The experiments supplement the work in PHYS 211 and PHYS 213.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisites: PHYS 111 or PHYS 211. A working knowledge of elementary algebra and trigonometry. Michelson-Morley experiment, inertial reference frames, the principle of relativity, space-time coordinates of an event, Lorentz Transformations, clock paradox, momentum-energy 4-vector, equivalence of energy and rest mass, the principle of equivalence, curved space-time and qualitative features of general relativity and cosmology, relevance of relativity to space travel.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
1 to 3 credits. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. Includes directed study, problems, readings, directed readings, special problems and special projects. Students complete individualized plans of study which include significant one-on-one student-teacher involvement. The faculty member and students negotiate the details of the study plans. Enrollments are usually 10 or fewer students. Meeting depending upon the requirements of the topic.
