4.00 Credits
A one-year algebra and trigonometry-based introductory physics course using the workshop method. This method combines inquiry-based cooperative learning with the comprehensive use of computer tools for data acquisition, data analysis and mathematical modeling. Kinematics, Newton's Laws of motion, conservation laws (energy, linear momentum, and angular momentum), rotational motion, and oscillations are studied during the first semester. In the second semester, topics in electricity, magnetism, dc circuits, thermodynamics, and geometric optics are covered. Recommended for life science and pre-med students. Prerequisite: MATH 141-142. A passing grade of C- or better in PHYS 151 or PHYS 211 is a prerequisite for PHYS 152.

2.00 Credits
View the skies like never before by experiencing a total eclipse of the sun. This course will allow students to learn astronomy, safely observe the eclipse, and examine the geology of Yellowstone volcanic eruptions. Note: this course requires strenuous hiking and primitive camping.
-
2.00 Credits
Molecular modeling is a collection of computer-based techniques for representing molecular structures both graphically and numerically and simulating their behavior. This course aims to introduce the hierarchy of computational modeling methods and the underlying physical principles used for searching, rationalizing and predicting structure and reactivity for a variety of chemical and biological systems ranging from hydrogen to protein interaction networks. Students will become familiar with and experience the methods used in different scientific disciplines including basic programming skills, navigating, displaying and understanding the massive amounts of computerized data, and using different computational methods to visualize relationships between the microscopic structure of molecules and their macroscopic properties.
-
4.00 Credits
Elementary concepts of modern physics. Topics include: special relativity, elementary quantum theory, atomic and molecular spectra, X-rays, introduction to solid state, nuclear and laser physics. Prerequisites: PHYS 152 or 212.
-
4.00 Credits
This class is intended to give students a background in practical optics. Topics studied include lenses and mirrors, systems of lenses and mirrors and aberrations in lenses and mirrors, polarizers and filters, interference and diffraction. Ray diagrams and Fermat's Principle of least time are treated along with waves, and the electromagnetic basis for understanding polarization. Prerequisites: PHYS 152 or 212 and MATH 202.
