3.00 Credits
The mathematical structure and physical meaning of quantum mechanics, as a fundamental theory of physics, are developed at the intermediate level. Problems are drawn from areas such as the structure of nuclei, atoms, molecules, and crystals. Prerequisites: Physics 211 and Mathematics 210. (3/0/3) STAFF
-
1.00 Credits
A series of four semesters of experiments and projects that develop the basic experimental skills that a student majoring in physics should have. These include use of standard physics instrumentation, some familiarity with shop tools, laboratory record-keeping and report-writing, and knowledge of ways in which basic physical quantities are measured. The basics for all of these skills are developed in the first semester in the series. The others may be taken in any order. Prerequisite: Physics 211. (0/3/1 each course) STAFF
-
3.00 Credits
Designed for students planning to attend graduate school, these courses are to be taken in the senior year at Wofford. The material is taken from the more advanced portions of mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum physics, optics, and introductory statistical mechanics. Special attention is given to the mathematical methods used in each of these areas. Prerequisites: Mathematics 210, 240; Physics 211, 221, 331, and 341; and senior standing. (3/0/3) each course STAFF 222
-
2.00 Credits
Active participation in a research project selected from one of the department's existing projects, or developed earlier in Physics 250 or in coordination with a faculty member. The student is expected to maintain a regular weekly schedule of lab and library work in connection with this project, keep a notebook in standard format, and write a detailed research report to be retained by the faculty member. Prerequisites: Physics 221, 331, 371, and permission of instructor. (0/6/2) each course STAFF
-
3.00 Credits
An opportunity to participate in a special advanced course offering. Students planning to take this course should consult with the instructor during the previous semester. Prerequisites: Physics 221, 331, 341, and 371. (Variable credit in class or lab up to 4 hours) STAFF
-
4.00 Credits
A study of topics selected to introduce students to basic concepts in psychology and to the scientific method. Does not count toward a major in Psychology or toward science requirements for the B.S. degree. (3/3/4) STAFF
-
3.00 Credits
A general survey of what psychologists do, the tools they use, and problems of current attention. Emphasis is placed on methodology, biological psychology, learning, motivation, perception, cognitive processes, development, social and abnormal psychology, and assessment of individual differences. Open only to freshmen and sophomores. (3/0/3) STAFF
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the research methods used to obtain scientific knowledge in psychology, with an emphasis on experimental design and the interpretation of research results. Prerequisite or corequisite: Mathematics 140. (3/3/4) REID
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the functions of sensory systems as they relate to behavior and the mechanisms of perception. Prerequisite: Psychology 230. (3/3/4) PITTMAN
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the causes of inappropriate behaviors and cognitions (including mental illness) and techniques for redirecting such behaviors and cognitions. (3/0/3) LEFEBVRE, McANINCH
