3.00 Credits
Co-requisite: Math 118 or consent of instructor. Preparatory course for calculus-based physics. Reasoning, analysis, and problem solving are developed through introduction to important topics in physics, including relativity, quantum mechanics, and atomic physics. Basic physics concepts such as motion, energy, and waves are also introduced. Does not count towards a major or minor in physics.
-
2.00 Credits
Transition to university experience. Topics include study skills, critical thinking skills, library education, exploration of careers for physics majors, degree programs, campus resources, and personal development. Issues specific to physics majors, degree requirements, specializations within physics, career trends, and resources are addressed.
-
3.00 Credits
Corequisite: PHYS 181 Prerequisite: MATH 117 OR MATH 118 A survey of the physics revolution responsible for laptop computers, fiber optics, and nuclear power. Follows the changes in physical theory from the 1870's through the 1920's, from the geometrical optics and thermodynamics through the theories of relativity and the basic ideas behind quantum mechanics.
-
1.00 Credits
Corequisite: PHYS 180 Prerequisites: MATH 117 or MATH 118 Required for students enrolled in PHYS 180. Laboratory experience focusing on applications of optics, thermodynamics, the structure and behavior of atoms, wavelike properties of particles, and quantization of light, charge and energy.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: High School algebra, geometry and right angle trigonometry. An introductory course for students majoring in applied sciences, emphasizing the application of basic physics principles through problem solving. Topics covered include mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, properties of matter and waves. Includes both lecture and laboratory components (No calculus is used.)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 201. Corequisite: PHYS 208 (Course and laboratory must be taken together or dropped together). A continuation of PHYS 201. The following topics are covered: electrostatics, electric field strength, electric potential difference, resistance, capacitance, DC circuits, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, electromechanical devices, simple AC circuits, reflection, refraction, geometrical optics, physical optics, interference, and diffraction. Includes both lecture and laboratory components (No calculus is used.)
-
1.00 Credits
