PHYS 0081: Space & Time, Light & Matter
3.00 Credits
University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus
The course begins with Newtonian ideas of space, time, and motion, and outlines the achievements of classical mechanics and Maxwell's electromagnetic field theory to 1900. Classical concepts thus introduced, notably the conservation laws of energy and momentum, the field concept, and the wave and particle, are then developed to take account of 20th century relativity and quantum mechanics, in ways that transcend our everyday common-sense understanding of the natural world. Modern theories of fundamental particles and of the four fundamental types of force are outlined. Applications to nuclear physics are discussed, in particular methods that show that some objects are billions of years old. After a brief outline of the physics of stars, the course culminates in recent discoveries about cosmology which demonstrate how remarkably incomplete our fundamental knowledge still remains.

PHYS 0107: How Things Work: The Physics of Everyday Life
3.00 Credits
University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus
The course applies physics principles and concepts to practical applications. Students are encouraged to apply physics to everyday life applications. Also, students are encouraged to think logically to solve problems and apply scientific reasoning to problem solving. The methods of scientific model construction will be analyzed using conceptual models and mathematical models and the link between these models. Topics in the major areas of physics, including mechanics, properties of fluids, heat and thermodynamics, waves, electricity and magnetism, electronics, light and optics, and nuclear and atomic physics will be discussed with emphasis on applications of these topic areas. Students may attend an optional laboratory encouraging application of scientific principles and required student projects. Prerequisite: MATH 0110 GE: Physical Sciences
