-
3.00 Credits
Methods of vector calculus are applied to investigate the multidimensional kinematics and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. Both translating and rotating systems are explored using such principles as force, torque, work, energy, impulse, and momentum (linear and angular). Prerequisites: PHYS 152 and MATH 182. Pre/corequisite: MATH 241 are recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
A development of classical mechanics beyond the introductory physics level. The course will focus on the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies in one, two, and three dimensions. Topics covered will include central forces, collisions, and non-inertial frames of reference. Analytical and numerical methods of solution will be included. Prerequisites: PHYS 152 and MATH 182; pre/corequisite: MATH 241.
-
4.00 - 9.00 Credits
A study of analog circuits comprised of resistors, capacitors, inductors, op-amps and DC and AC voltage and current sources. Methods of analyses include Kirchoff's Laws, node/mesh, network theorems, bode plots, Laplace transforms, and two-port networks. Some software tools will also be explored. Includes a three-hour weekly laboratory. Prerequisite: PHYS 152; pre/coreq: MATH 241.
-
4.00 - 10.00 Credits
An introduction to digital circuits including Boolean algebra, logic gates, Karnaugh maps, decoders, flipflops, registers, microcomputers, and interface devices. Characteristics and operation of digital integrated circuits will be covered. Some software tools will also be explored. Includes a three-hour weekly laboratory. Prerequisite: PHYS 152.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of light. The course includes topics from geometrical optics, such as optical system analysis and aberration theory, and topics from physical optics, including interference, diffraction, and Fourier optics. Special topics from quantum optics will also be included. Prerequisites: PHYS 152 and MATH 182. Pre/co-requisite: MATH 241. Three lecture and three laboratory hours each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Selected experiments in mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and modern physics.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to areas of physics not treated in other courses.
-
3.00 - 9.00 Credits
Newton's Laws and conservation laws will be reviewed, followed by an examination of Hamilton's Principleand the Lagrangian formulation of mechanics. Using these tools, topics such as central force motion, dynamics of systems of particles and rigid bodies, and coupled oscillations and normal modes will be explored. Prerequisite: PHYS 250 or 251. MATH 261 recommended pre/co-requisite.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction, with applications, to the classical theory of electric and magnetic fields. The course will begin with an overview of vector calculus for electromagnetic theory and will develop Maxwell's equations. Pre/corequisites: PHYS 152, MATH 321.
-
3.00 - 10.00 Credits
An examination of the important role of special relativity in electromagnetic phenomena. Maxwell's equations are introduced in a relativistic manner, and used to investigate the properties of electromagnetic waves. Also included are mathematical techniques for solving the equations of Laplace and Poisson in electrostatics. Prerequisite: PHYS 353; pre/co-requisite: MATH 261 recommended.
