Three hours lecture and two hours lab. Basic overview of current knowledge about the universe beyond the solar system. No prior experience in astronomy is required; course meets the general education laboratory science requirement.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MATH 211 (or concurrent enrollment in MATH 211), PHYS 142 or 162. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This study of twentieth- century developments in physics includes an introduction to condensed-matter physics, relativity, atomic physics, radioactivity, waves and particles, and nuclear processes.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MATH 211, 301 (or concurrent enrollment in MATH 301), PHYS 162. Three hours lecture and one-hour problem session. This course introduces the study of kinematics, particle dynamics, central forces and planetary motion, oscillations, energy, and momentum. The Lagrange and Hamilton formulations of mechanics are also introduced.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MATH 211, 301 (or concurrent enrollment in MATH 301), PHYS 142 or 162. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course introduces students to DC and AC circuits, electrostatics and magnetostatics in free space and materials, Maxwell's equations, boundary conditions, and electromagnetic waves.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MATH 211, 301 (or concurrent enrollment in MATH 301), PHYS 211. Three hours lecture and one-hour problem session. This course introduces the methods of quantum theory. The Schrodinger approach is developed and is applied to the hydrogen atom, angular momentum, scattering theory, time-independent perturbation theory, and other topics.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MATH 211, 301 (or concurrent enrollment in MATH 301), PHYS 211. Three hours lecture and one-hour problem session. This course develops the application of higher mathematics and the computer to the analysis and simulation of realistic physical systems. Topics covered typically include finite-difference approximations, Fourier analysis, Fourier transforms, Fast Fourier transforms, numerical integration, applications of Monte Carlo methods, solutions of differential equations, numerical solutions of Laplace's equation, and the application of matrix methods. Symbolic mathematical software is also introduced.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Approval of faculty sponsor and school dean; junior or senior standing. This course provides students the opportunity to pursue individual study of topics not covered in other available courses. The area for investigation is developed in consultation with a faculty sponsor and credit is dependent on the nature of the work. May be repeated for no more than six credits.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: A background of work in the discipline or prior consent of instructor. This course will focus on an aspect of the discipline not otherwise covered by the regularly offered courses. The topic will vary according to professor and term; consequently, more than one may be taken by a student during his/her matriculation.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MATH 211,301 (or concurrent enrollment in MATH 301), PHYS 211, . Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. A study is made of the properties of electromagnetic waves, particularly in the visible spectrum. Wave descriptions of scattering, reflection, interference, diffraction, and polarization are developed. The course also treats aspects of geometrical optics, including lenses and lens defects.
