12 courses with the subject PHY, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
MAT 111 or its equivalent A basic course of study in physical science that is intended to provide the student with an overview of the subject. Emphasis is placed on the physical properties of man’s ecosystem and the known principles that govern it. Selected topics in physics, chemistry, geology, and the environment are studied.
PHY 112 A 3 hour laboratory course designed to complement the lecture/recitation and text content of Introduction to Physical Science, illustrating the basic concept of the laws of nature. Students participate directly in the exercises, developing skills of observation, data collection, and analysis. Concepts covered are derived from the fields of chemistry, physics, ecology, and earth science.
PHY 253 A calculus-based physics course, taken by physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering majors. It covers fluid dynamics, light, optics, and the basics of modern physics. There are three 50-minute lectures and one 3 hour laboratory session per week. There are three 50-minute lectures per week. One 3 hour laboratory session per week that complements PHY 203.
PHY 232 First semester of a two-semester sequence in introductory, non-calculus physics that is generally taken by biology, chemistry, and environmental science majors. Topics include mechanics, heat, and wave motion. There are three 50-minute lectures and one 3 hour laboratory session per week.
PHY 234 Second semester of a two-semester sequence in introductory, noncalculus physics that is generally taken by biology and chemistry majors. Topics include electricity, magnetism. light, and modern physics. There are three 50-minute lectures and one 3 hour laboratory session per week.
PHY 251 A calculus-based physics course, generally taken by physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering majors. It covers mechanics of particles and rigid bodies, gravitation, oscillations and waves. There are three 50-minute lectures and one 3 hour laboratory session per week.
PHY 252 A calculus-based course, generally taken by physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering majors. The course covers thermal physics, laws of ideal gases, electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetic waves. There are three 50-minute lectures and one 3 hour laboratory session per week.
