  • PC 136: How Things Work

    1.00 Credits
    Colorado College

    A practical introduction to the physics in everyday life. Covers examples from simple experiences like ice skating and drinking through a straw to complicated devices like televisions and microwaves,these are explained using physical principles, logical arguments, schematic diagrams, lots of demonstrations, and a few equations. Each student dissects and explains a mechanical or electrical device, such as a wind up clock, bicycle, or vacuum cleaner, using principles and techniques developed in the course. Requires no previous experience with physics. Those with significant previous physics experience will find some repetition, but significant new applications. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World requirement.) 1 unit - Lang.

  • PC 141: Introductory Physics I

    1.00 Credits
    Colorado College

    An introduction to scientific thought and method through a study of the major theories in physics and the phenomena that provoked them from their origins in Greek civilization through the 20th century. The first block: mechanics, heat and relativity; the second block: electricity, magnetism, waves, and quantum physics. (Primarily for students who do not intend to major in the physical sciences). Calculus 1 (MA 126) is recommended. Ideas from calculus will be used in the development of the subject, but formal training in calculus is not required. (Meets the laboratory/field requirement for natural sciences.) (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World lab or field requirement.) 1 unit - Burns, Cervantes, Purdue.
