  • 3.00 Credits

    Topics are selected from, but not limited to, the quantum nature of reality, the Schroedinger equation, square-well potentials, the simple harmonic oscillator, tunneling, angular momentum, the hydrogen atom and the periodic table. Prerequisites: A course in differential equations (MTH 303), PHY 201, and PHY 203. May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
  • 4.00 Credits

    A course in scientific (as opposed to consumer) analog electronics. Topics include use of electronic test equipment, circuit theory, analog applications of discrete passive and active devices and analog integrated circuits. Op-amp applications (amplifiers, adders, integrators, differentiators, active inductors, oscillators, active filters, etc.) are the primary interest. Other integrated circuits such as voltage regulators, function generators, multipliers and phase locked loops may be introduced as time allows. Prerequisites: Calculus II MTH 146 and General Physics (PHY 102 or PHY 106). Three lecture hours and one three- hour laboratory period per week. May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
  • 4.00 Credits

    A course in scientific (as opposed to consumer) digital electronics. Topics include use of electronic test equipment, digital applications of discrete passive and active devices, digital integrated circuits (gates, decoders, flip-flops, counters, shift-registers, digital memory, clocks), and analog/digital hybrids such as comparators, analog switches and gates with Schmitt trigger inputs. Applications include bus interfacing, multiplexing, wave shaping, digital-to-analog conversion and analog-to-digital conversion. Prerequisites: Calculus II MTH 146 and General Physics (PHY 102 or PHY 106). Three lecture hours and one three-hour laboratory per week. May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
  • 3.00 Credits

    An advanced undergraduate course treating mechanics in the Newtonian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations with applications. Prerequisites: A course in differential equations (MTH 303), PHY 201 and PHY 203. May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Experimental topics are drawn from, but not limited to, microwave optics and the physics of the nucleus. Prerequisite: PHY 203. One three-hour laboratory period each week for one semester. May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A student who wishes to pursue an independent study project for academic credit must submit, prior to registration, a proposed plan of study that includes the topic to be studied and goal to be achieved, the methodology to be followed, schedule of supervision, end product, evaluation procedure and number of credits sought. The proposal must be approved by the supervising faculty member, the department chair and the dean of arts and sciences. It will be kept on file in the dean of arts and science’s office.
  • 1.00 Credits

    An introduction to literature sources in science, to include science citation index, abstracts, books, American and foreign journals, reference works and online search of scientific literature. This course is a prerequisite/ corequisite for PHY 441. One lecture per week for one semester.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Topics are selected from, but not limited to, matrix algebra, complex analysis, Fourier series and Fourier analysis, classical functions of mathematical physics (orthogonal polynomials, Bessel functions, gamma function) and applications. Prerequisites: General Physics II (PHY 102 or PHY 106) and a course in differential equations (MTH 303). May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
  • 3.00 Credits

    An intermediate course in physical optics, designed for senior physics majors, treating interference, diffraction, absorption, polarization and other aspects of electromagnetic wave phenomena. Prerequisite: PHY 303. May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course deals with statistical methods applied to systems of particles, statistical thermodynamics and the statistical treatment of quantized systems. Applications to diverse topics such as ideal and non-ideal gases, black body radiation, metallic conduction and magnetic effects are developed. Prerequisites: PHY 322, PHY 304 or PHY 403 and PHY 307. May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
