-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the concepts of stress and strain, material properties, deflections of bars under axial, torsional and bending loads, statically indeterminate problems, and stress transformations. 3 lecture-recitation hours. Prerequisite: MATH 130 and PHYS 241 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to orbital mechanics, astrophysical processes in stellar atmos-pheres and interiors, stellar evolution and the interstellar medium, black holes, galactic structure, active galaxies, and quasars. 3 lecture-recitation hours. Prerequisite: PHYS 231 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A sophomore-level forum for a variety of current topics in physics. Students will be expected to supplement the traditional classroom work with additional research material in order to become familiar with the selected topic. The topics can be chosen to augment several major programs depending upon demand. Permission of the program director is required.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the principles of Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics of particles with applications to vibrations, rotations, orbital motion, and collisions. 3 lecture-recitation hours. Prerequisite: PHYS 114 or permission of the instructor. Co-requisite: MATH 238 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Classical thermodynamics, zeroth, first, second and third law of thermodynamics and their applications (law of mass action, heat engines, refrigerators, heat pumps, etc.), kinetic gas theory, and introduction to statistical mechanics. 3 lecture-recitation hours. Prerequisites: MATH 231 and PHYS 231 or permission of in-structor.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of electrostatics, electrical and magnetic properties of matter, Maxwell's equations, boundary-value problems, wave propagation and the steady-state mag-netic field. 3 lecture-recitation hours. Prerequisite: PHYS 114 and a C or higher in all required MATH courses or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A junior level forum for a variety of current topics in physics. Students will be expected to supplement the traditional classroom work with additional research material in order to become familiar with the selected topic. The topics can be chosen to augment several major programs depending upon demand. Permission of the department chairperson is required.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of black body radiation, wave and particle phenomena, dynamical opera-tors, the Schrodinger equation and its applications, the Heisenberg formulation, the hydrogen atom, and perturbation theory and its applications. 3 lecture-recitation hours. Prerequisites: PHYS 330, MATH 237 and a C or higher in all required MATH courses or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of physics careers, societal issues related to the field of physics and an introduction to contemporary research fields in physics. A major course com-ponent is the reading and synthesis of current physics literature. The student must prepare a research paper, an oral seminar and a poster presentation to be pre-sented to the department faculty and students. The course should be taken by students in their final spring semester.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the fundamental Constitutional principles of American government and the nature of American politics. As an introductory course, it begins with an overview of the subfields of Political Science-political theory, American government, comparative politics, and international relations-and introduces the methods of research in Political Science. Throughout the course, students will be asked to develop thoughtful responses to questions such as: What are the enduring principles of American government? How can a person be a responsible citizen? Is American government ready for the challenges of the 21st Century?
