Course # | Course Name | Credit(s) |
---|---|---|
PHYS 1020 | Descriptive Astronomy | 3 |
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 |
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. Prerequisites: MATH 0640 or placement into MATH 0820 or higher. |
||
PHYS 1041 | Algebra & Trig Based Physics I | 4 |
Explores topics in motion, mechanics, fluids, and oscillations. This course relies on algebra and trigonometry to explain these physics concepts and solve problems related to them. Prerequisites: Courses in trigonometry and higher algebra or concurrent enrollment in MATH 1119. |
||
PHYS 1042 | Algebra & Trig Based Physics II | 4 |
Explores topics in electricity and magnetism, circuits, waves, light, and optics. This course relies on algebra and trigonometry to explain these physics concepts and solve problems related to them. PHYS 1042 is a continuation of PHYS 1041. Prereq: PHYS 1041 and MATH 1119 or MATH 1127. |
||
PHYS 1081 | Calculus Based Physics I | 5 |
Explores motion, mechanics, fluids, oscillations, thermodynamics and heat. Physics 1081 is the first part of a two-semester sequence. Prerequisite: MATH 1133 or concurrent enrollment. |
||
PHYS 1082 | Calculus Based Physics II | 5 |
Explores topics in electricity and magnetism, light and optics. This course is a continuation of Physics 1081. Prerequisites: PHYS 1081 and MATH 1133. |
||
