1.00 Credits
Students perform stretching and breathing exercises based on Hatha Yoga. These exercises (asanas), if practiced regularly and methodically, aid in maintaining good health, improving cardiovascular circulation, and reducing stress. The exercises, when mastered, stretch and flex all major areas of the body in a balanced fashion increasing blood flow and improving breathing. Students keep a log of their individual progress and do a research report on the benefits of Hatha Yoga and its relationship to good health.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to the basic prob lems of philosophy, such as metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, and others. Pre- or Co-requisites: ENG 096 and RDG 096 (passing grade of "C" or better foreach), or placement.
-
4.00 Credits
This is the first half of a standard college physics sequence for technology majors, biological science majors, and students preparing to take PHY 103 as engineering or computer science majors. Lecture and laboratory work is supported by individual assistance and computer activities. This course includes the study of kinematics, dynamics, momentum, energy, circular motion, universal gravitation, the structure of materials, and fluids. It is recommended that you take MTH 113 or MTH 120 concurrently. Prerequisite: "C" or better in MTH 100. Laboratory fee.

4.00 Credits
This is the second half of a standard college physics sequence. Lecture and laboratory work are supported by individual assistance and computer activities. This course emphasizes the study of electricity, magnetism and light, and additional topics selected from heat, thermodynamics, vibrations, waves, sound, and areas of modern physics. Prerequisite: "C" or better in PHY 101 or permissionof instructor. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
This is the first course in general physics for computer science, engineering, and mathematics majors. Topics covered include calculus-based study of vectors, particle kinematics, Newton's laws, friction, conservation of energy and momentum, work, equilibrium, gravitation, rotation, and simple harmonic motion. Emphasis is placed on problem solving and laboratory applications. Prerequisite: high school physics or placement by the Division. Pre- or Co-requisite: MTH 121 (passing grade of "C" or better). Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a continuation of PHY 103 with emphasis on electrostatics, DC and AC circuits, electromagnetism, mag netic properties of matter, and electromagnetic oscillations. Laboratory work includes taking electrical measurements using modern electronic test equipment. Prerequisite: "C" or better in PHY 103. Co-requisite:MTH 122. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the physics of optics and light. Topics covered include the nature of light, reflection, and refraction and image formation for simple optical systems. Instructor provides laboratory demonstrations of the principles presented. Prerequisite: "C" or better inMTH 109 or equivalent. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
The basic concepts of astronomy will be introduced, focusing on the structure, motion, and evolution of our universe. Historical path to the present day level of understanding will be presented, describing Ptolemaic, Brahe, and Kepler models. Students will obtain some necessary physical background, such as the nature of light, atomic structure, gravitation, and relativity. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MTH 092 or placement. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the composition and structure of the atmosphere, the flows of energy to, from, and through the atmosphere, and the resulting motions produced from small to planetary scales. The physical principles of atmospheric phenomena are stressed to provide an understanding of weather's impact on humans, particularly severe weather. Methods of analysis are developed through the study of current weather as meteorological data are obtained via the Internet. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MTH 092. Laboratory fee.
-
5.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of PHY 103-104 which completes the introductory physics sequence for engineering majors. The theory and applications of the following topics are covered: Waves; oscillations with an introduction to Maxwell's Equations and its applications to microwaves; hydrodynamics; kinetic theory; physical and geometrical optics; theory of relativity; introduction to atomic theory; the periodic table; and elementary particles. Prerequisites: "C" or better in PHY 104 and MTH 122. Laboratory fee.
