  • P 313: Astronomy:The Stars and Beyond

    3.00 Credits
    Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

    3 credits This general-education level course focuses on three broad topics in astronomy: the tools of astronomy (the celestial sphere and the motion of objects in the sky; scientific method; light, spectra, and atomic structure; the astronomical distance scale; gravity and celestial mechanics); stars and stellar evolution (the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, the main sequence, and stellar lifecycles); and galaxies and cosmology (Hubble's Law, dark matter, evidence for the Big Bang, and theories of the early universe). The course meets for two hours of lecture and a two-hour laboratory each week, and will include some use of the telescope. Mathematics competency required. Offered every fall.

  • P 314: Digital Systems

    4.00 Credits
    Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

    4 credits This is a course on digital electronics and its applications in modern electronic instrumentation. Emphasis is placed on gaining experience with the use of individual digital integrated circuits and programmable arrays. The course covers Boolean algebra, simple gates, combinational and sequential logic circuits, counters, shift registers, state machines, astable multivibrators, encoding, decoding, multiplexing, and conversion between analog and digital representations. Coursework will involve both circuit simulation and actual hardware implementations. The course targets applications in the natural sciences, mathematics, and computer science. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: P211/212. Offered in alternate fall semesters.

  • P 360: Electricity and Magnetism I

    3.00 Credits
    Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

    3 credits This course is an introduction to the physics of electricity and magnetism at the intermediate undergraduate level. It examines the experimental evidence that led to the development of the theories of electromagnetism (electrostatics, polarization and dielectrics, magnetostatics and magnetization, electrodynamics, electromagnetic waves, potentials and fields, and radiation) and the development of Maxwell's laws. The mathematical analysis of electromagnetic situations will use vector calculus to a great degree, so the student will also be exposed to working with a variety of vector operators. Prerequisites: M251and P211/212. Offered in alternate spring semesters.
