-
3.00 Credits
This course in descriptive astronomy covers observational properties of stars, stellar life cycles, pulsars and black holes, the Milky Way Galaxy, extragalactic astronomy, quasars and cosmology. Pre-requisite: Satisfaction of ESU basic mathematical skills competency
-
3.00 Credits
This is a descriptive course which introduces current theories on the origin and evolution of the universe. Particular emphasis is placed on how ideas from such diverse areas of study as extragalactic astronomy, relativity, and particle physics have combined to provide a reasonably coherent theory of the beginning of time and the cosmos.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is intended to give the student experience in the observational techniques of modern astronomy. The course is designed to complement Physics 122 - Astronomy II, but may be taken with Physics 121 - Astronomy I.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental principles of meteorological observations and data analysis are explored within the context of mid-latitude weather forecasting.
-
0.00 Credits
This is the first part of the algebra-based (non-calculus) course sequence for a science majors. Newtonian mechanics is examined and applied to situations including gravitation, rotation and oscillations, with a focus on being able to apply a few general laws and definitions to a wide variety of novel situations. Experimental skills will be developed with an emphasis on the interpretation of data, such as the identification of patterns and uncertainties in the data and calculations and testing possible mechanisms consistent with those patterns. Pre-requisite: MATH 135 (B-), MATH 140 (C-), a 500 or better on the math SAT, or a satisfactory score on the physics department mathematics survey.
Prerequisite:
MATH135 OR MATH140 OR OR
-
0.00 Credits
This is the second part of the algebra-based (non-calculus) course sequence for science majors. The focus is on abstract models used to describe and predict phenomenon in electricity, magnetism, waves, light and optics. Some material in atomic and nuclear physics is also examined. Competency in using optical and electrical equipment will be developed with an emphasis on the consistency between the abstract models and the properties of the equipment and physical phenomenon that are examined.
-
0.00 Credits
Together with Physics II, this course covers basic principles and methods of all branches of classical physics at an introductory level. Topics include Newtonian mechanics, gravitation, waves, optics, heat electricity and magnetism.
-
0.00 Credits
Continuation of Physics I. Co-requisite: MATH 141
Prerequisite:
MATH141 OR PHYS161
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the composition and resolution of forces, equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies, centroids, moments and products of inertia, distributed forces, analysis of structures, analysis of beams, friction, and virtual work.
Prerequisite:
PHYS161 AND MATH140 AND MATH141
-
3.00 Credits
This course considers dynamics of particles and rigid bodies, relative motion, dynamic equilibrium, DAlemberts principle, work, energy, impulse, and momentum.
