-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to topics in physics of current research interest. Prerequisites: PHYS 312 Thermal Physics; PHYS 313 Physical Mechanics
-
3.00 Credits
This course will cover concepts and techniques from experimental and theoretical physics useful in analyzing biological problems at the molecular, cellular, whole organism, and eco-system levels. Topics include statistical mechanics of polymers, membranes, and other flexible objects, basics of low-Reynolds number fluid dynamics, physics of complex fluids - equilibrium and dynamics, single molecule fluorescence and micromechanical techniques - theory and experiments, elastic response of cells to mechanical perturbations, mechanics of bird and insect flight, and evolutionary dynamics.Prerequisites: Junior level or above and permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth study of the fundamentals of plant science, including basic principles of plant growth, culture, development, propagation and the relationship of the broad industry of agriculture to plant development.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the distribution, adaptation, cultural practices, and selection of the principal field crops. Special attention will be given to the identification and habitats of cereal crops, legumes and grasses.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the production and handling of leading forage crops, their relationship to the livestock industry and the maintenance of soil fertility. Special attention is given to hay and pasture management.
-
3.00 Credits
The selection, preparation and application of sprays, dusts and fumigants for the control of insects, diseases, weeds, and other pests of farm crops. Special attention is given to spraying and dusting schedules, effects of various chemicals on different kinds of plants, ecological factors, residues, application machinery, and economical considerations.
-
