5.00 Credits
Einstein's physics is designed for the non physics major who desires to understand 20th century physics. The course begins with a review of the inadequacies of classical physics, then develops the ideas of relativity (both special and general) and quantum mechanics. The course includes a weekly two-hour laboratory exercise. Algebra is used extensively. Prior knowledge of classical physics is necessary. Prerequisite: MATH 99 and PHYS 100. (SFCC)
-
5.00 Credits
Calculus-level classical physics with emphasis on mechanics. This course is for engineering and physical science majors transferring to four-year institutions. Topics include kinematics, dynamics, gravity, momentum and energy. A weekly laboratory is required. Prerequisite: PHYS 100 or 115 or one year of high school physics and MATH 125 and concurrent enrollment in MATH 126. (SFCC)
-
5.00 Credits
Calculus-level classical electricity and magnetism for physical science and engineering majors. Topics include AC and DC circuits, Gauss' Law, Kirchhoff's Laws and Maxwell's equations. A weekly laboratory is required. Prerequisite: PHYS 201 and MATH 126. (SFCC)
-
5.00 Credits
Calculus-level classical thermodynamics and wave mechanics for physical science and engineering majors. Topics include laws of thermodynamics, thermal properties of matter, mechanical waves, sound and light. A weekly laboratory is required. Prerequisite: MATH 126 and PHYS 201. (SFCC)
-
5.00 Credits
Formerly POLSC 101. Development of Western political theory and ideology, comparative analysis of contemporary ideologies, examination of political processes with emphasis on the individual's role. Prerequisite: SFCC recommended minimum reading placement score: COMPASS 80, ASSET 40. (SCC, SFCC)
-
5.00 Credits
Formerly POLSC 102. This is an introductory, interdisciplinary course designed to introduce students to the systematic study of comparative political systems. In an increasingly interdependent world, this course provides students with the conceptual and analytical tools to study political behavior, institutions and processes of various countries across the globe.
