-
4.00 Credits
An in-depth study of some philosophical theme or topic such as morality and the law, theories of perception, science and religion. The seminar is aimed at giving concentrators and other qualified students a greater opportunity for an interchange of ideas and individual research. May be repeated, with a new topic. Prerequisite: One course in philosophy or permission of the instructor
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of basic properties of light, diffraction, holography, interference, imaging and applications to modern technology including telescopes, lasers, CDs, fiber optics and optical data storage. This course satisfies the general studies lab science requirement. Three hour lecture and three-hour laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a course particularly focused on the needs of teachers in elementary and middle schools. The main focus of this course is to have the students learn by doing, that is, they will, in support of the lectures, carry out activities and demonstrations in various areas of the physical sciences. For each concept presented in the lecture class the students will carry out quantitative activities, which demonstrate the validity of the concept. They are required to keep a careful record of not only lecture notes but of their activities. Thus, at the end of the course each student will have produced a reference notebook of lesson plans, covering both theory and supporting activities/demonstrations, which are invaluable in teaching physical science in grades K through eight. General studies natural science credit. Prerequisite: EDU 395
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory course in general physics including mechanics, heat, sound, light, electricity, magnetism and modern physics. Calculus methods are used. Three hours lecture and three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: MAT 107 (may be taken concurrently with Physics Department permission)
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of 201. Three hours lecture and three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: PHY 201 and MAT 108 (may be taken concurrently with Physics Department permission)
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the fundamentals of physics: thermodynamics, kinetic gas theory, and Quantum theory of photons, atoms, nuclei and solids. Prerequisite: PHY 202
-
4.00 Credits
This course explores thermodynamic systems and variables; the laws of thermodynamics; thermodynamic potentials and applications; ideal and real gas relations; changes of phase; introduction to probability theory; elementary kinetic theory of gases; micro and macro-states of simple quantum-mechanical systems; Fermi- Dirac, Bose-Einstein, and Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics. Four hours of lecture per week.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to electronic components and circuits, including power supplies, amplifiers and digital logic circuits, and the integration of electronics with software. Prerequisite: PHY 202, MAT 107
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers a variety of mathematical tools needed in upper-level physics courses. The focus is on the applications of mathematics to interesting physical situations. Topics covered may include vector and matrix algebra, series expansion, calculus techniques in physics, vector calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations, complex numbers and probability in physics. Prerequisite: MAT 108 or permission of the instructor
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of PHY 301 and covers a variety of mathematical tools needed in upper-level physics courses. Prerequisite: MAT 108 or permission of the instructor
