3.00 Credits
PHYS 325 -- Energy and the Environment (3) Presents basic physical and quantitative concepts which are needed to understand energy and its environmental interaction. The physical laws come from mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, electricity, and nuclear reactions. A recurring theme is the extraction, transportation, conversion, distribution, end use, and dispersal of energy and the environmental impact of each step. Credit not counted toward the Physics Major or Minor. Prerequisite: one semester of college science. As demand warrants. Gen Ed: SP credit.
-
3.00 Credits
PHYS 330 -- Meteorology (3) Components of the atmosphere, atmospheric dynamcis, weather elements, weather phenomena and their physical courses, weather maps, weather predictions, operation and use of weather instruments. Prerequisite: one semester of college science. Fall or as demand warrants. Gen Ed: SP credit.
-
3.00 Credits
PHYS 335 -- Astronomy (3) Topics include: solar system structure and dynamics, stellar composition and evolution, binary and multiple star systems, galactic structure and evolution, and theories describing the known universe. Included also is the study of the evening sky, constellations, planetary movement, and astronomical instrumentation. Prerequisite: one semester of college science. Spring or as demand warrants. Gen Ed: SP credit.
-
2.00 Credits
PHYS 350 -- Elements of Special Relativity (2) Basic principles of special relativity and their application to four-dimensional space-time and particle reactions. As demand warrants.
-
3.00 Credits
PHYS 370 -- Mathematical Physics (3) Mathematical ideas and methods from linear algebra, multivariate calculus, and differential equations are studied and applied to physical problems. Prerequisite: MATH 152. Spring.
