An introduction to the scientific view of the physical world with emphasis on an understanding of science and its unique-ness among the intellectual disciplines. Concepts and principles are primarily from the fields of physics and chemistry. Three lectures and one 2-hour lab per week. Prerequisite: MATH 130 or proficiency.
Calculus-based physics designed for the student who has had one year of high school physics. Suggested for biology, chemistry and mathematics majors and pre-engineering students. Four lectures and one 2-hour lab per week. Prerequisite: MATH 201. MATH 201 may be used as a co-requisite if high school mathematics included an introduction to calculus. Offered each year.
Basic concepts of AC and DC circuits including an introduction to transistors, vacuum tubes and amplifiers. Two lectures and one 2-hour lab per week. Prerequisite: MATH 150 or equivalent. Offered on demand.
Application of contemporary instrumental techniques to chemical analysis, including UV, visible, IR, Fluorescence and NMR Spectroscopy. Three lectures and one 3-hour lab per week. Prerequisite: CHEM 221 or permission of the instructor. Cross-listed with CHEM 332. Offered Spring 2003 and alternate Spring semesters.
A unified study of electric charge, forces, field and potential; capacitance and dielectrics; moving charges and magnetic fields; Maxwell’s equations and electromagnetic waves. Three lectures and one 2-hour lab per week. Lab experiences emphasize electrical measurements and optics. Prerequisites: PHYS 212; MATH 202. Offered on demand.
Classical thermodynamic and statistical. Thermodynamic descriptions of physical and chemical systems at equilibrium and kinetic descriptions of systems during states of chemical and nuclear change. Three lectures and one 3-hour lab per week. Cross-listed with CHEM 401. Prerequisites: CHEM 132, 322; MATH 202; PHYS 212. Offered Fall 2002 and alternate Fall semesters.
An introduction to the concepts of modern physics including atomic and nuclear physics and an introduction to quantum mechanics. Three lectures and one 3-hour lab per week. Cross-listed with CHEM 402. Prerequisite: PHYS 401. Offered Spring 2003 and alternate Spring semesters.
