4.00 Credits
This course is suitable for a non-science major who wishes to explore the fundamentals of the natural sciences. All major areas of physics are covered: mechanics, heat, optics, electricity and magnetism, waves, atomic and nuclear physics, relativity, quantum mechanics and particle physics. The course is meant as a survey course with moderate depth, but large breadth. It also explores relationships between physics and other natural sciences, technology and global issues. It has a mandatory lab, giving the student a feel for laboratory science. Mathematical knowledge up to college algebra is required. The course satisfies the lab science requirement of group III of the IR for the B.A. degree and/or the natural/physical lab science requirements of group IV for either B.A. or B.S. degrees. Three lecture periods and one three-hour laboratory each week. Offered every fall. (P: College algebra with at least a C minus, or equivalent placement test.) (WIC)
-
3.00 Credits
General introduction to astronomy, open to all students. The course focuses on observation of the night sky, history of astronomy, modern views of the universe, star composition and development, structure and fate of the universe, astronomical instruments, interaction between astronomy and physics, accomplishments and expectations of space exploration. Viewing the sky is weather dependent. The course can be taken at any time and there are no prerequisites. The course satisfies the natural/physical non-lab science requirements of group IV of the IR for either the B.A. or B.S. degrees. It is an evening class. Offered every spring. (WIC)
-
4.00 Credits
A non-calculus course for students enrolled in academic disciplines not requiring or recommending calculus-based physics as part of their respective programs. Topics to be covered include vectors, forces, motion, Newton's laws, work, energy, fluids, elasticity, oscillations, waves, theory of heat. Three lecture periods and one three-hour laboratory each week. This course is held in conjunction with PHYS 174, but assignments and tests are different. Offered fall of even-numbered years. (WIC)
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of PHYS 154, also non-calculus. Topics to be covered include electricity, magnetism, and optics. Three lecture periods and one three-hour laboratory each week. This course is held in conjunction with PHYS 184, but assignments and tests are different. Offered spring of odd-numbered years. (P: PHYS 154 or permission of instructor) (WIC)
-
