3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: PHY 107 and PHY 108, or PHY 117 and PHY 118 Corequisites: MTH 41 Type: LEC Covers the same topics as PHY 07, but in greater depth. Class size is limited. In general, taken by students in the University Honors College, but other students may take it with permission of instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
Credits: 1 Prerequisites: PHY 107 and PHY 108/PHY 158, or PHY 117 and PHY 118/PHY 158 Corequisites: PHY 07 Type: LAB Conducts experiments on waves, geometrical and physical optics, and modern physics.
-
1.00 Credits
Credits: 1 Prerequisites: PHY 107-PHY 108 Corequisites: None Type: LAB Introduces basic syntax and capabilities of this computer calculus/algebra system as applied to obtain analytical solutions to problems in physics. Students taking PHY 386 learn the same syntax as PHY 86 students, but are required to do more advanced problems such as occur in junior-senior physics courses. A student may receive academic credit for only one of the two courses.
-
3.00 Credits
