-
3.00 Credits
An intensive examination of some of the characteristic questions of contemporary aesthetic theory. Variable content. May be repeated for credit with consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Designed primarily for majors in philosophy. Other students may be admitted to the course with the special consent of the instructor. Topic to be selected by the department staff.
-
3.00 Credits
A reading course directed by the instructor in whose particular field of specialization the content of the reading falls. Approval of each reading project must be secured from the department.
-
3.00 Credits
A nonmathematical course that deals with the physical properties of sound and sound patterns, the physiological response to sound, and the psychological sensations of music. The physical principles covered include wave motion, wave properties, resonance, and analysis of tones and complex waveforms. How sound patterns are produced using musical instruments, how these sounds propagate and how they are detected and interpreted will be examined. Cr. 3.
-
3.00 Credits
Two-hour lecture and two-hour laboratory class about the theory and operation of lasers. Lectures will discuss basic optics; the operation of lasers; laser safety; and the uses of lasers in science, industry, construction, communication, entertainment, and medical fields. Laboratory will reinforce classroom discussions. Class intended for nonphysics majors. Cr. 3.
-
3.00 Credits
This course enables students to learn fundamental physical principles and concepts from examples of situations occurring in sports. The numerous recent applications of physics toward enhancing sports performance, both by improving techniques and equipment, will be selectively studied. Physical concepts such as velocity and acceleration, force, momentum, impulse, rotational motion, torque, pressure, fluid flow, energy, and power will be introduced and exemplified through sports. The course is intended for non-science majors. Cr. 3.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the phenomena associated with electromagnetic waves having visible wavelength, i.e., light. Topics will include characteristics of light, optical instruments such as telescopes and cameras, rainbows, human seeing, color and color mixing, lasers, Polaroid lenses, and tricks with mirrors. The course will emphasize phenomenological and conceptual consideration of these topics using many demonstrations and activities. This course is intended for non-science majors. Cr. 3.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the physics of light and its interactions with objects as these topics apply to the production of computer-generated images. The course will investigate light and color through observation and the use of 3-D graphics programs. In particular how light interacts with surfaces and how we see will be explored in order to understand how to make graphic images that appear true to life. Cr. 3.
-
3.00 Credits
A conceptual study in physics as it applies to martial arts. In particular, Newtonian mechanics, rotational dynamics, material study, and center of mass will be addressed. No martial arts experience is necessary nor will any martial art be taught. Unlike other conceptual physics courses, this course will very much focus on the forces a human can exert on another object. From these beginnings, the course will develop the student's conceptual understanding of momentum, work, energy, power, and intensity to achieve a final goal of understanding collisions. The course will also examine leverage, rotational dynamics, and center of mass (throwing, grappling, and joint maneuvers).
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a survey for nonscience majors of the conceptual foundations, applications, and implications for the future of the recent major discoveries in physics. Examples of topics are quantum electronics, high temperature superconductivity, lasers, chaos, fractals, the cold fusion controversy, the search for the fifth force, quarks, and dark matter in the universe. Topics are presented in a descriptive and conceptual manner without mathematics. Cr. 3.
