Course Descriptions |
PHYS 1020 Descriptive Astronomy
|
3 cr |
|
Surveys the major areas of astronomy, including planets, the sun, the moon, galaxies, and cosmology. Activities include sky observations and laboratory work.
|

PHYS 1030 Descriptive Physics
|
4 cr |
|
Explores topics in motion, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism, light, and nuclear physics. PHYS1030 emphasizes concepts, basic laws, and applications of physics. For students with no physics background who do not plan to concentrate their study in science. PHYS 1030 assumes only a basic understanding of math. Prereq: MATH 90 or Test into MATH 92.

|
PHYS 1041 Algebra & Trig Based Physics I
|
4 cr |
|
Explores topics in motion, mechanics, fluids, and oscillations. With PHYS 1042, it forms a sequence designed to meet the physics requirement of programs such as architecture and pharmacy. Prerequisites: Courses in trigonometry and higher algebra or concnrrent enrollment in MATH 1119.
|
|
PHYS 1042 Algebra & Trig Based Physics II
|
4 cr |
|
