-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to physical sciences with emphasis on physics and chemistry. Designed for the non-science major or liberal studies majors. Basic principles of science are taught through hands-on demonstrations, field trips, examples of science at work in the real world, and selected topics of current interest. Laboratory experiments highlight areas of physical science, including electricity, water chemistry, motion, and gravity. Lecture, laboratory. (Offered every year.) 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites, MATH 110 for PHYS 107; and MATH 111 for PHYS 108. A two-semester sequence covering concepts of mechanics, wave motion and sound, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and atomic physics. Students will learn how physics principles apply to the workings of living organisms and standard diagnostic tools used in life science. This course is intended to fill the physics requirement for life science majors and pre-medical preparation. Lecture, laboratory. (Offered every year.) 4, 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite, MATH 110. Lecture, laboratory; an introduction to the science of acoustics, which assumes no prior coursework in physics. Particular emphasis is placed on the production, transmission, and perception of musical sounds. (Offered every year.) 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
(Offered as needed.) 1-3 credits.
-
