Prereq: 173.111 and (110.106 or 110.108) Lectures on general principles illustrated by experiments provide a thorough introductory study of physics. Conference periods, assigned in the first class, offer more detailed discussion of principles and the solution of problems. Students are required to take General Physics Laboratory concurrently with the course. The first term covers mechanics and thermodynamics. The second term addresses electricity and magnetism, optics, and selected topics in modern physics. Note: Students taking this course and the laboratory 173.111-112 may not take any other course in the summer session and should devote full time to these subjects. First and second terms must be taken in sequence.

Prereq: Grade of C- or better in 171.101 or 171.103 Coreq: 110.109,173.112 This two-semester sequence in general physics covers mechanics, heat, sound, electricity and magnetism, optics, and atomic physics. Midterm exams for every section are given during the 8 AM section time! Accordingly, students registering for sections at times other than 8 AM must retain availability for 8 AM sections as needed

Prereq: Grade of C- or better in 171.101 or 171.103 Coreq: 110.109,173.112 This two-semester sequence is designed to present a standard calculus-based physics preparation tailored to students majoring in one of the biological sciences. Topics in modern physics and in fluid dynamics will be covered in this course. Midterm exams for every section are given during the 8 AM section time! Accordingly, students registering for sections at times other than 8 AM must retain availability for 8 AM sections as needed.

Introduction to the concepts of physics of the subatomic world: symmetries, relativity, quanta, neutrinos, particles and fields. The course traces the history of our description of the physical world from the Greeks through Faraday and Maxwell to quantum mechanics in the early 20th century and on through nuclear physics and particle physics. The emphasis is on the ideas of modern physics, not on the mathematics. Intended for non-science majors.

This course looks at the evolution of the universe from its origin in a cosmic explosion to emergence of life on Earth and possibly other planets throughout the universe. Topics include big-bang cosmology; origin and evolution of galaxies, stars, planets, life, and intelligence; black holes; quasars; and relativity theory. The material is largely descriptive, based on insights from physics, astronomy, geology, chemistry, biology, and anthropology.

From an ancient Chinese musician and mathematician accused of “doing violence to numbers” to a composer who teaches computers to write like Bach, follow the struggle to use scientific tools to understand and enhance the beauty in music and art. Learn how sounds and images can manipulate your brain to inform, entertain, or deceive. Create your own aural and optical illusions. Study the workings of auto-tune, perfect pitch, MP3s, and art created by genetic algorithms.
