11 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.
PHY 117Physics Introduction I4
This course provides an overview of physics topics in areas of mechanics and heat for non-science majors at an introductory level, emphasizing conceptual development and qualitative and quantitative (using algebra and trigonometry) applications of these concepts to real world physical examples.
This course provides an overview of physics topics in areas of electricity, magnetism, waves, sound, light, and modern physics for non-science majors at an introductory level, emphasizing conceptual development and qualitative and quantitative (using algebra and trigonometry) applications of these concepts to real world physical examples.
A study of the various forms of energy with relationship to other physical concepts. Includes a study of energy production, transformation and usage in our world, and effects on human lifestyles and the environment.
An introduction to selected areas of astronomy including historical perspectives, and current theories and knowledge. Students may not take both PHY 141 and PHY 145 : Observational Astronomy, nor may they take PHY 141 and the Observational Astronomy Lab (PHY 145L).
A study of Earth’s physical environment. Weather and climate, oceans, rocks, minerals, and landforms are explored individually and in relation to one another.
