Physics Course Offerings
This introductory astronomy course is for both college students and general public who are curious about the universe. The course tells the story of modern astronomy and the new perspective – the cosmic perspective – with which it allows us to view ourselves and our planet. Topics covered includes structural hierarchy and general history of the universe, the tools and techniques used by modern astronomers, the sun, planets, moons, and minor bodies of our solar system, and the processes by which it formed.
This is a general education lab science course for non-science majors. There are no college-level prerequisites. The goal of this course is a general understanding of the physical principles in every day life with emphasis of how physicists approach the problem of describing nature in terms of experimental tests of physical theories. The course surveys motion and Newton's laws, the atomic structure of matter, heat and thermodynamics, sound.
This is a course in non-calculus introductory physics. The student will develop skills in laboratory and problem solving techniques as they relate to the solution of problems involving basic concepts of motion, vectors, force, work and energy, momentum and collisions, rotational motion, fluids, heat and thermodynamics, wave motion and sound waves.
This is a course in non-calculus introductory physics. The student will apply the skills developed in General Physics I (non-calculus) – PHYS 111 to the solution of problem involving the basic concepts of electrostatics, direct current electricity, magnetism, magnetic induction, alternating current electricity, light and optics.
This is a course in introductory physics for students majoring in science or engineering. The student will employ the calculus in the development of the basic concepts of vectors; kinematics and dynamics in one and two dimensions; work and energy; momentum; rotational mechanics; oscillating motion; wave motion and sound, heat and thermodynamics.
This is a course in introductory physics for students majoring in science or engineering. The student will employ the calculus in the development of the basic concepts of electrostatics, DC circuits, magnetism, magnetic induction, AC circuits, light and optics.
This is a course for students majoring in science or engineering. The student will study special relativity, the kinetic theory of matter, the quantization of electricity, light and energy, the nuclear atom, electron waves, the Schrodinger equation, and the application of quantum theory to atomic systems.
