Physics (PHYS)
Credit: 1 (0-1-0)
Laboratory experimentation reinforces concepts in mechanics. The course emphasizes scientific communication and collaboration as well as measurement methods, uncertainty in measurement, and basic error analysis.
Restrictions: Graduate level students may not enroll.

This course provides an introduction to Newtonian physics. Topics include Aristotelian physics and its overthrow, Newton’s laws of motion and gravitation, and motion of particles, rigid bodies and fluids. The idea of the universe as a law-governed system will be developed. Trigonometry required for the course will be developed prior to its physic applications. Algebra and trigonometry based physics problem solving will be required. Home based experiments using commonly available items will be assigned. This course meets the standards for the “Life and Physical Sciences” category of courses under the core curriculum.
Restrictions: Graduate level students may not enroll.

Introduction to thermal physics, wave motion, electricity, and magnetism. The classical theory of fields will be used to study electric and magnetic phenomena, including light. This is the culmination of classical physics which underlies much of technology. Algebra and trigonometry based physics problem solving will be required. Home based experiments using commonly available items will be assigned. This course meets the standards for the “Life and Physical Sciences” category of courses under the core curriculum. TSI Restriction(s): Reading, Math, and Writing
Restrictions: Graduate level students may not enroll.

A calculus based introduction to Newtonian physics. Topics include Aristotelian physics and its overthrow, Newton’s laws of motion and gravitation, and motion of particles, rigid bodies and fluids. Fluency in algebra and trigonometry is expected and differential and integral calculus will be used as necessary. Home based experiments using commonly available items will be assigned. This course meets the standards for the “Life and Physical Sciences” category of courses under the core curriculum.

A course in physics in areas of specialization of the faculty, with emphasis on current developments. Specific topics will be changed from semester to semester, so a student may take the course for credit more than once (maximum 6 hours). Instructor approval required. TSI Restriction(s): Reading, Math, and Writing
Restrictions: Enrollment is limited to Undergraduate level students.
Repeat Status: Course may be repeated 1 time(s).
