4.00 Credits
Part I of an integrated, two-semester, calculus-based treatment of physics, with emphasis on the solution of physical problems through the understanding of a few basic concepts. Topics are drawn from mechanics. This course and PHYS 151 are normally taken by concentrators in physics, chemistry, biochemistry, mathematics, and engineering. Three hours lecture, one hour discussion, three hours laboratory. (F,W).
-
0.00 Credits
Laboratory component of PHYS 150. Must be taken concurrently PHYS 150.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of PHYS 150. Topics are drawn from electricity and magnetism, and optics. Three hours lecture, one hour discussion, three hours laboratory. (F,W).
-
0.00 Credits
Laboratory component of PHYS 151. Must be taken concurrently with PHYS 151.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to contemporary topics in physics of interest to science, mathematics and engineering students. Topics include relativity, and quantum mechanics and their applications to atoms, molecules, nuclei, solid state phenomena, and cosmology. Three hours lecture. (W).
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the applications of physical principles to the environment, and to the conversion, transfer, and use of energy. Problems of transportation, meteorology, and thermal pollution are included. Three hours lecture. (OC).
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the principles of electronic instrumentation used in scientific research. Methods of converting physical measurements into electronic signals by means of electrical circuits, transistors, digital and analog integrated circuits will be discussed. Digital computers as general purpose laboratory instruments will be explored. Students will complete individual projects. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory. (F).
-
3.00 Credits
As introduction to those mathematical methods that are widely used in understanding the physical phenomena exhibited by Nature. Topics include vector analysis, linear algebra, complex variables, Fourier analysis, and differential equations. Emphasis is on the application of these techniques to physical problems of interest to students in mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences. Three hours lecture. (AY).
-
3.00 Credits
A lecture course in a topic of current interest in physics. Topics vary and are announced in the current Schedule of Classes. Three hours lecture. (OC).
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the classical physics of the motions of single particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies. Topics include central force laws and planetary motion, collisions and scattering, rigid body motion, oscillations, Lagrange's equations, and Hamilton's principle. Three hours lecture. (F).
