1.00 Credits
An experience in which the student learns and applies basic professional skills by performing on- the-job tasks and using classroom knowledge in practical situations. If a student is in the Cooperative Education program, then this course preceeds PHYS 379: Internship. Prerequisites: Completion of PHYS 161 and 162, sophomore standing, permission of Physics department internship supervisor.(F)
-
3.00 Credits
This is a writing intensive course. This laboratory familiarizes students with the statistical analysis of experimental data. Emphasis is placed on experimental design to minimize experimental uncertainty. Early in the semester experiments illustrating and applying Gaussian and Poisson statistics, least-squares fitting and propagation of errors are performed. These techniques are then used in experiments on advanced mechanical systems. Extensive use is made of computers in the analysis. Formal experiment writeups required. Prerequisites: PHYS 204, 264, 311, 362 and MATH 331.(F)
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture topics include Kirchhoff's laws, Thevenin's theorem, complex analysis, phasors, LabView data collection, and PSpice simulations. Circuits covered include filters, integrators, differentiators, resonant circuits, power supplies, and amplifying circuits. Resistors, capacitors, inductors, and operational amplifiers are discussed. The laboratory addresses safety and proper use of laboratory equipment such as power supplies, oscilloscopes, digital meters, data acquisition boards, etc. Prerequisites: MATH 167 and either PHYS 162 or 152 or consent of instructor. (F)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed as a detailed study of curriculum materials available to the secondary school teacher. Emphasis is on laboratory procedures and innovative teaching strategies at the secondary level. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.(upon student demand)
-
3.00 Credits
Both science and art offer models and interpretations of reality. Students in this course will compare will compare how science and art have represented the concepts of space, time and light throughout history. (F, Sp)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed as a study of vector analysis through Stokes', Green's, and the divergence theorems; curvilinear coordinates; series solutions of differential equations; complex variables with emphasis on integration in the complex plane. Emphasis is on problem solving applications. Prerequisites: PHYS 152 or 162, MATH 167.(F)
-
0.00 Credits
No course description available.
-
3.00 Credits
A short term apprenticeship (usually lasting for one summer) with a business or government organization. The student learns to perform the tasks of a regular employee, applying theoretical knowledge and research to practical situations. In addition, the student learns about career opportunities open to Physics majors. In the Cooperative Education program, this course follows PHYS 279. Prerequisites: Junior or higher standing, completion of PHYS 264, permission of Physics Department internship supervisor, PHYS 279 or consent of instructor. PHYS 379 may be repeated for a total of 6 credits, but only 3 credits of these may be applied to the physics major.
-
3.00 Credits
Students will study the laws of thermodynamics, equations of state, free energy functions, phase changes and relationships between thermodynamic functions, with applications to thermodynamic systems. Includes an introduction to statistical mechanics. Prerequisites: PHYS 162 and MATH 266.(F,alternate years)
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides a comprehensive survey of advanced classical mechanics. Particle dynamics, central forces, accelerated frames of reference, rigid body mechanics, harmonic oscillations, Lagrange's equations and Hamilton's equations are examined. Prerequisites: PHYS 264, 361 and MATH 331.(F, a;termate uears)
