1.00 Credits
A modular course which stresses an understanding of the evolutionary theories of the universe. Discussions will include such subjects as supernova, pulsars, nova, black holes, red shift, matter, anti-matter, and space-time. (Usually offered Fall and Spring semesters.) Prerequisite: PHY 112 or permission of the Instructor. Meets SUNY General Education requirement for Natural Sciences (N)
-
1.00 Credits
A modular course examining the possibility of the existence of life outside the Earth. Known life processes will be discussed with other possible processes relevant to existing conditions near other stars. Course principles will be applied to the investigation of extraterrestrial civilizations and possible modes of contact. (Usually offered Fall and Spring semesters.) Prerequisite: PHY 112 or permission of the Instructor. Meets SUNY General Education requirement for Natural Sciences (N)
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory, interdisciplinary course which studies the essence of astronomical knowledge as a product of man¿s application of the ¿Copernican Principle.¿ The interplay between science and cultural beliefs and how philosophical and religious beliefs have enhanced or conflicted with scientific principles is discussed. Human activity on Earth and its implication on ecology are compared to other planetary ecologies. Stellar evolution including starbirth, Main Sequence stage and stellar demise is discussed with sun as a model star. Recent astronomical findings by many space probes including the Hubble Space Telescope are discussed. (Usually offered Fall and Spring semesters.) Meets SUNY General Education requirement for Natural Sciences (N)
-
4.00 Credits
As a survey course, PHY 131 132 is a two semester, non calculus sequence. Topics include vectors, forces, acceleration, linear and circular motion, gravitation, energy, momentum, fluids, gases, liquids, solids and thermo dynamics. (Usually offered Fall semester.) Prerequisite: MAT 111 or equivalent. Meets SUNY General Education requirement for Natural Sciences (N)

4.00 Credits
The first of four calculus based, general physics courses supporting the customary baccalaureate science or engineering degree requirement. The subjects covered in PHY 171 are centered on mechanical phenomena. Topics include measurement and estimation, the description of motion, vectors and vector algebra, Newton¿s Laws of Motion, energy, momentum, rotational motion, static equilibrium, elasticity, and harmonic motion. (Usually offered Fall and Spring semesters.) Pre-requisite/Co requisite: MAT 120 Meets SUNY General Education requirement for Natural Sciences (N)
