-
4.00 Credits
A laboratory science course for the student with no previous background in physics. A conceptual, rather than mathematical, approach is emphasized. Topics include mechanics, heat, sound, electromagnetism, light, and modern physics. 3 Lec 3 Lab. (Fall)
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory study of the solar system; stellar structure and evolution; star clusters, galaxies, quasars, the large scale structure of the universe, and cosmology. A conceptual, rather than mathematical, approach is emphasized, though some arithmetic calculations are required. 3 Lec 3 Lab. (Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 121 An introduction to motion in one dimension, vectors in 2 and 3 dimensions, the laws of motion, work and energy, momentum and collisions, uniform curricular motion, gravity, rotational equilibria and dynamics involving torque and angular momentum, solids and fluids, thermal physics and heat, thermodynamical laws, vibrations, waves, and sound. Math level is algebra and trigonometry. 3 Lec 3 Lab. (Fall)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 121 Continuation of PHYS 121. Topics include: electic force and electric field, electric potential, capacitance, resistance and resistivity, direct and alternating currents, Kirchhoff Laws, Ohm's Law, magnetism and Ampere's Law, Faraday's Law, electromagnetic waves, reflection and refraction of light, mirrors and lenses, relativity, quantum physics, atomic and nuclear physics, particles. 3 Lec 3 Lab. (Spring)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 181 Corequisite: PHYS 121 A one hour addition to the topics of PHYS 121 where the calculus is thoroughly used. A student taking PHYS 121 and PHYS 221 will have the equivalent of a 4-hour university course in calculus-based general physics (topics as in PHYS 121). (Offered periodically, fall)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 181 Corequisite: PHYS 122 A one hour addition to the topics of PHYS 122 where the calculus is thoroughly used. A student taking PHYS 122 and PHYS 222 will have the equivalent of a 4-hour university course in calculus-based general physics (topics as in PHYS 122). (Offered periodically, Spring)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Approval of department chair Study in areas of interest beyond those listed in the bulletin. May include lectures, lab or readings under the direction of a staff member. Content and method of study to be arranged prior to registration. May be repeated for a total of 2 credits.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of instructor An introduction to the theory and application of digital logic circuits. Combinatorial and sequential logic design principles and practices. Microcomputer interfacing: I/O programming, system bus structures and I/O interfaces. 3 Lec 3 Lab. (Fall)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 122, PHYS 222 Corequisite: MATH 282 Special relativity and quantum theory applied to atoms, molecules, solids, nuclei and elementary particles. (Offered periodically)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 122, 222 Corequisite: MATH 282 The Newtonian dynamics of particles and rigid bodies; central forces, harmonic motion, many particle systems, and an introduction to the formalisms of Lagrange and Hamilton. (Offered periodically)
