Did an asteroid really cause the extinction of the dinosaurs? Where did life come from and how did it evolve? Why do I find fossils of marine organisms in my back yard? If you have ever wondered about these questions, you can discover the answers by taking this course. This course intends to give you a perspective of the enormity of the geologic history of the Earth and the life that lives on it. You will learn how scientists know how old a rock or fossil is and what the conditions in the past were like when it formed. You will also investigate how scientific thinking about the geologic past have changed with respect to the age of the Earth and what the dinosaurs were like. By looking at some bizarre groups of fossils, questions about evolution, speciation and chance will be examined. Also, a detailed study of the local geologic past will reveal that Binghamton was on the shoreline of an ancient tropical sea about 365 million years ago. Course includes laboratory activities.

In this course, students will learn how to apply basic numerical, algebraic, and trigonometric procedures to the solution of physical problems. Topics are selected from the fields of mechanics, heat, wave motion, electricity, optics, and electromagnetic radiation. Numerous laboratory exercises and in-class activities are integrated into the course to reinforce understanding of the physical principles. The course is designed for students who have not had high school physics, or need a basic introduction to physics before taking higher level physics or technology courses. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: MAT 096 Elementary Algebra and Trigonometry.

Physics includes the study of matter and motion, mass and energy. It tells you how and why things move. It is important for everyone from technicians to doctors to know why something happens. Problem solving skills that you learn in physics will help you in other courses, as will the skills in laboratory observation and analysis. In Mechanics you will learn about forces and the accelerations they produce, and conservation laws for energy and momentum. In thermodynamics you will study how heat energy affects the properties of matter. This includes topics that range from how atoms bounce around on a hot day to the operation of a gasoline engine. Physics provides the underlying concepts used in technologies and in other sciences. Basic principles are applied to solve realistic problems, using algebra and elementary trigonometry. This course is designed for Liberal Arts, Computer Science, and Technology students and others who are interested in learning why things happen the way they do. Laboratory experiences will provide you with problem solving techniques, measurement skills and applications of theory. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: Minimum grade of 75 in Math B (H.S.) or a minimum grade of “C” in Math MAT 130 Applied Algebra and Trigonometry or MAT 136 College Algebra and Trigonometry. Minimum grade of 75 in H.S. Physics or a “C” in PHY 090 Preparatory Physics.

This is the second course of an algebra-based sequence in physics. Your study of sound and light will reveal them as examples of waves, and will include study of optical instruments. Electricity and magnetism introduces you to the basic properties of charges and currents, producing electric fields and magnetic fields. You will progress to understand electric energy as one essential component of our standard of living. Some selected topics in modern physics are also covered, including the study of atoms and their nuclei. Laboratory experiences will provide you with problem solving techniques, measurement skills and applications of theory. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: PHY 161 Physics I: Mechanics and Heat

Engineering Physics, sometimes called “University Physics,” uses calculus in the development of principles. The topics include the description of motion and the causes of motion, with the ideas of force, energy, power, and momentum; equilibrium and rotation; and heat and its effects. This course is designed for students studying engineering, computing, science, or mathematics. Laboratory experiences will provide you with problem solving techniques, measurement skills and applications of theory. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: Minimum grade of 80 in Math B (H.S.) or a minimum of B in Math 156 Algebra and Trigonometry for Calculus, or C in MAT 181 Calculus I (preferred). Minimum grade of 80 in H.S. Physics or C in PHY 161 Physics I: Mechanics and Heat. Corequisite: MAT 182 Calculus II (preferred) or MAT 181 Calculus I.

This continuation of PHY 181 covers the nature of sound and of light and their behavior; electric and magnetic forces and fields; electric circuits and electric energy transfer; and electromagnetic induction. This is the second semester of University Physics taught at most major Engineering schools. Laboratory experiences will provide you with problem solving techniques, measurement skills and applications of theory. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: PHY 181 Physics for Engineers & Scientist I: Mechanics and Thermodynamics, and PHY 181L Physics for Engineers & Scientists I: Laboratory. Corequisite: MAT 182 Calculus II, EGR 101 Engineering Orientation: Student Success II.
