This is the first part of a one-year algebra-based physics course. This course includes the fundamentals of classical Mechanics, Thermal Physics, and Wave Motion. The student will be introduced to the basic principles of linear and rotational Kinematics and Dynamics, Newton's laws of motion, work and Energy, Impulse and Momentum, Elasticity, Simple Harmonic Motion, Fluids, Temperature and Heat, The Transfer of Heat, The Ideal Gas Laws and Kinetic Theory, Thermodynamics, Waves and Sound, Linear Superposition and Interference Phenomena. This is a required course for students who plan to major in Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Science, Pharmacy, and all other Biological or Health science disciplines. Methods of instruction include practical laboratory experiments, application of modern technology, and guided discussions. The course includes three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week, usually offered in the fall and summer semesters. Prerequisite: MATH 1414 or concurrent enrollment. Co-requisite: PHYX 1401, MATH 1414.

This course is designed to give an overview of the visible universe. The objective throughout this course is to explain how astronomers know the many curious things they have learned about our universe. It brings the universe alive, in a sense, by showing the drama of the birth, evolution, and death of stars. What is the universe ? Did the universe have a beginning ? Will the universe last forever ? These cosmological questions are answered in a qualitative way. The chances of life elsewhere in the universe, and how we might know about it are discussed. Planetarium and Observatory are used extensively. Methods of instruction include practical laboratory experiments, application of modern technology, and guided discussions. The course is structured around the lecture-lab format (i.e., depending on the topic, it may be necessary to do a hands-on activity before lecturing on the concept). The class meets twice a week, three hours per day. Prerequisite: None. Co-requisite: PHYX 1411. ** Please note that as of Fall 2006, the titles and content of PHYS 1411 and 1412 have changed. PHYS 1411, Introductory Astronomy I, is now PHYS 1412, Solar Systems. PHYS 1412, Introductory Astronomy II, is now PHYS 1411, Stars and Galaxies. If you have questions, please contact a counselor or an online mentor.

This course is an introduction to Astronomy. The approach is very qualitative, but simple mathematics skills are required. The course is designed to explain the origin of the Solar System including the Sun and its nine planets, and smaller bodies - satellites (moon) orbiting the planets, asteroids, and comets. The students are also exposed to the basic idea of the function of a telescope. Planetarium and Observatory are used extensively. Methods of instruction include practical laboratory experiments, application of modern technology, and guided discussions. The course is structured around the lecture-lab format (i.e., depending on the topic, it may be necessary to do a hands-on activity before lecturing on the concepts).
