6 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 115TECHNICAL PHYSICS3
This course is a one-semester, algebra-based overview of topics in introductory physics designed for students in the life sciences. Topics h include basic principles of motion, mechanics, statics, work and energy, fluid mechanics, sound and waves, thermal physics, electricity, magnetism, light, and optics. The weekly laboratory is designed to reinforce material introduced in lecture. Prerequisites: MAT 090 - Fundamentals of Algebra, or MAT 011 - Beginning Algebra, or MAT 011B - Beginning Algebra with Review of Arithmetic with a minimum grade of C within 5 years, or High School Algebra II with a minimum grade of B within 5 years.
Introduction to Astronomy is a one-semester college-level course in basic astronomy. The course may be used as a laboratory science elective with basic algebraic applications. The course explores a broad range astronomical concepts and principles in ten major areas: understanding the sky, apparent motions of the planets and the sun, telescopes and accompanying technology, basic structure and behavior of atoms, origin and analysis of light, origin of the solar system, internal structure and behavior of the sun, lifecycle of all stellar classes, origin and structure of galaxies, and cosmology. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on the implementation of the scientific method, the evidence that astronomers use to support their conclusions, and the importance of astronomy. (Night- time observing is required). This course is subject to a course fee. This course is subject to a course fee.
