3.00 Credits
An introduction to extragalactic astronomy, including the history of our discovery of the external galaxies and their classifi cation, the "cosmic distance ladder," quasars and other distinct objects, the Big Bang theory of cosmology, and the future of the universe. This course is not recommended for students required to take University Physics. (Competency in algebra) (May be taken before or after 1017-230, 235) Class 3, Credit 3 (W)
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory science for non-science students. One or more topics such as astronomy, space exploration, relativity, nuclear energy and lasers are discussed and simply explained to give an appreciation of the signifi cance of physics in our contemporary technological society. A minimum of mathematics is used. A laboratory or discussion option may be offered for small group meetings once a week, which reinforces the material given in demonstration lectures and audiovisual presentations. NOTE: Not acceptable for science credit for College of Science majors. (Competency in algebra) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered upon suffi cient request) (F, W, S)
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory survey, using some calculus, of the physics underlying operation and manufacture of modern semiconductor devices used in integrated circuits and microcomputers. Review of classical physics, classical free-electron gas, atomic physics, molecular bonds and band theory, theory of metals, structure and properties of semiconductors and semiconductor devices will be provided. (1017-213; 1016-304) Class 4, Credit 4 ( offered upon suffi cient request) (S)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the basic concepts of astronomy and astrophysics for scientists and engineers. Topics include the celestial sphere, celestial mechanics, methods of data acquisition, planetary systems, stars and stellar systems, cosmology, and life in the universe. (1017-311; 1016-281) Class 4, Credit 4 (F, S)
-
3.00 Credits
This is an intensive course in calculus-based physics for science and engineering majors. The course is taught in a lecture/workshop format that integrates the material traditionally found in separate lecture and laboratory courses. Topics include kinematics, planar motion, Newton's Laws, gravitation; work, kinetic and potential energy; momentum and impulse; conservation laws; systems of particles; data presentation and analysis; and error propagation. (Grade of C or better in 1016-272 or 1016-281; credit or co-registration in 1016-273 or 1016-282) Class 6, Credit 4 (F, W, S)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of University Physics I (1017-311). The course is taught in a lecture/workshop format that integrates the material traditionally found in separate lecture and laboratory courses. Topics include rotational kinematics and dynamics, rigid body motion, angular momentum, static equilibrium, oscillatory motion, wave motion, sound, and physical optics. (Grade of C or better in 1017-311and 1016-273 or 1016-282; credit or co-registration in 1016-283) Class 6, Credit 4 (F, W, S, SU)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of University Physics II (1017-312). The course is taught in a lecture/workshop format that integrates the material traditionally found in separate lecture and laboratory courses. Topics include electrostatics, Gauss' law, electric fi eld and potential, capacitance, resistance, DC circuits, magnetic fi eld, Ampere's law, and inductance. (Grade of C or better in 1017-312and 1016-283; credit or co-registration in 1016-305) Class 6, Credit 4 (F, W, S)
