  • 1.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: PHYS 251 with a minimum grade of C An introduction to the methods and mechanics of the research process. Topics include the nature, methods, literature, funding, limitations and strengths of scientific research. A proposal and literature search may be required. Spring semester.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: PHYS 252, MATH 286 An introduction to the revolutionary changes in physics understanding that occurred in the 20th century. Topics include special relativity, elementary quantum physics, solid state physics, nuclear physics and elementary particles. Designed to prepare physics students for advanced physics courses in these fields and others. The laboratory experiments provide a first-hand view of the information that led to the modern understanding of physics. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Spring semester.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: CHEM 152, MATH 286, PHYS 252 Recommended: MATH 352 and 385, PHYS 350 Introductory course in quantum mechanics including wave-particle duality, time-independent Schrodinger equation, harmonic oscillators, matrix treatment, and the wave treatment of the hydrogen atom. Uses and applications of differential equations and matrices are developed along with a historical perspective of the development of our understanding of quantum mechanics. Four lectures per week. Fall semester, alternate years.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: PHYS 251 Introduces the fields of descriptive and inferential statistics. Data sampling techniques, hypothesis testing and some applications of probability theory to business situations are examined. Fall semester.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: PHYS 386 with a minimum grade of B or PHYS 296 with either MATH 221 or 331 Emphasizes research design. A research project is proposed, a research plan developed for the project, and depending upon the nature of the study, research initiated. Fall semester
  • 4.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: PHYS 351 Chemical thermodynamics is developed to describe energy and entropy changes in ideal and real gases and extended to a range of chemical systems. Manipulation of multiple variables is achieved by use of partial differential equations, and skill in identifying the conditions of the problem to derive the appropriate equations for a particular application are developed. Attention is given to the results of applying Gibbs Energy and other thermodynamic constructs to a variety of uses including electrochemistry and phase equilibria. Three lectures and one laboratory per week. Spring semester, alternate years.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: PHYS 396 Emphasizes active research and both oral and written reporting of research. The project proposed in PHYS 396 is carried out and both written and oral presentations of the research are made. Spring semester.
