3.00 Credits
NA/QU Staff,S.Shelley Three class hours and one laboratory period. Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid motion, and relativity. Applications to other fields, especially the life sciences, will be included. The combination of this course with Physics 102 constitutes a comprehensive, one-year introduction to physics. A special section of this course (limited to 12) is designed for students whose preparation in physics and mathematics is weak, and/or who might benefit from extra discussion times and an exploration-based class format. Prerequisite: Calculus at the level of Mathematics 113A or equivalent should be taken prior to or concurrently with this course.

NA/QU J.Moreno,S.Shelley Three class hours and one laboratory period. A continuation of Physics 101, covering electricity and magnetism, optics, waves, sound, quantum physics, and nuclear physics. Applications include topics such as nerve conduction, the optics of vision, and radioactivity. Prerequisite: Physics 101a. In addition calculus at the level of Mathematics 114b or equivalent should be taken prior to or concurrently with this course.

NA/QU J.Gollub The physical principles governing life in a fluid environment: how fluids move and exert forces; how organisms swim, fly, and utilize fluids for circulation; and the role of fluid motion in understanding weather and climate. Examples include: how organisms adapt to a fluid environment; how hurricanes work; why the eyes of fish are not in the front; how insects walk on water; the dynamics of flight; the physics of rain; and the predictability of the weather. Intended for students not majoring in the sciences. No prerequisite, but basic high school physics concepts like momentum and energy, and quantitative reasoning skills, will be used. Does not count toward the major. Typically offered in alternate years.

NA (Cross-listed in Independent College Programs) S.Amador Kane This course introduces the nonscientist to many of the technologies used in modern medicine and the basic physical principles which underlie them. Topics will include: laser surgery, ultrasound imaging, laparoscopic surgery, diagnostic x-ray imaging, nuclear medicine, computed tomography (CAT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and radiation therapy. Safety issues involved in the use of each technique will be considered in depth, and discussions will include societal implications of the growing use of technology in medicine. No prerequisites. Does not count toward the major. Typically offered in alternate years.
