4.00 Credits
A two-semester introductory physics sequence primarily designed for those who do not need a calculus-based course. The first semester includes principles of mechanics, heat, and sound and their applications. The second semester includes principles of electricity and magnetism, optics, and modern physics and their applications. Three two-hour sessions per week. (Prerequisite for PHYS 130 is MATH 111; MATH 112 or equivalent recommended; the prerequisite for PHYS 131F5 is PHYS 130F5) (F/S)

3.00 Credits
Biomechanics uses mechanical analyses to investigate biological problems by combining knowledge of anatomy, physiology and physics. Topics include mechanical and structural properties of living tissue, loads applied to joints, common sports injuries and treatments, linear and angular kinematics and kinetics, equilibrium, and movement in fluid mediums. Crosslisted with BIO 220. (F)
-
4.00 Credits
Modern exploration of the physical universe. Topics include the sky and celestial motions, our solar system, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and cosmology with an emphasis on origin and evolution. Three lectures and one laboratory per week. (Prerequisite: MATH 111, equivalent, or consent of instructor) (S)
-
4.00 Credits
Historical aspects of scientific developments from classical to the modern periods. This course familiarizes students with the lives and times of the great scientists, how they brought about revolutions in scientific thinking. Three lectures per week. (Prereqs: PHYS 202F5 or equivalent; concurrent registration in or prior completion of MATH 331 is highly recommended.) (F)
-
3.00 Credits
The physics content of the general physics sequence will be examined in greater detail using the tools of calculus to examine physical problems from classical mechanics, electricity, and magnetism. Focus will be on interpretation of graphs, basic differential equations, and vector analysis of physical problems. Students will use the tools and language of mathematics to understand physics. (Prerequisites: PHYS 131F5 or 202F5, MATH 231, and concurrent registration or prior completion of MATH 232) (F)
-
3.00 Credits
Origin and development of classical mechanics; mathematical techniques, especially vector analysis; conservation laws and their relation to symmetry principles; brief introduction to orbit theory. (Prerequisites: PHYS 202F5 and concurrent registration in or prior completion of Math 331 highly recommended)
-
3.00 Credits
Electrostatic fields, capacitance and dielectrics, magnetostatics; electromagnetic induction; Maxwell's equations. (Prerequisites: PHYS 310 and MATH 331)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces computing tools useful in solving scientific problems. Considers a variety of techniques of tackling scientific calculations such as spreadsheets, symbolic packages, and using any suitable programming language(s). Topics will include elementary theory of errors, solution of algebraic equations, roots of polynomials, differentiation and integration of functions, and Euler's method. Examples will be drawn from such diverse fields as astronomy, physics, chemistry, earth science, biology and mathematics. (Prerequisite: MATH 232 or equivalent or consent of instructor)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to quantum mechanics and their applications to atomic, solid state, and nuclear physics and chemistry. Three lectures per week. (Prerequisites: PHYS 202F5 or equivalent; concurrent registration in or prior completion of MATH 331 is highly recommended.) Crosslisted with CHEM 360 (S)
