8 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 101College Physics I4
An algebra-based introduction to physics that explores classical mechanics. Topics include: translational and rotational motion of particles and rigid bodies; Newton's laws of motion; conservation laws; energy and work; equilibrium; gravitational forces and fields; harmonic motion and oscillation; and wave motion. Computer-based laboratory work seeks to demonstrate the validity of theoretical descriptions and impart a deeper understanding of physical phenomena and associated concepts. Intended for students majoring in the natural sciences or pre- health sciences and for non-majors who want or need a more challenging introductory course in physics. (4 credit hours)
Through a four-year plan developed in consultation with 4 an academic advisor, students develop a program of 4 elective coursework in a variety of subjects individualized 4 to their career goals. 4 Specific requirements of particular post-graduate 4 institutions should be ascertained early in the undergraduate program because they may require courses -4 for admission beyond the minimum required for the B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. The Major in Biomedical Sciences is 1 not open to students majoring in Biology, Biological Sciences/Pre-vet, Biochemistry, Biopharmaceutical Sciences, or Chemistry.
Course content varies from year to year to meet the special interests, abilities, and needs of students. (1–4 credit hours) Highlander Hub. Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer.
A calculus-based introduction to physics that explores classical mechanics. Topics include: translational and rotational motion of particles and rigid bodies; Newton's laws of motion; conservation laws; energy and work; equilibrium; gravitational forces and fields; harmonic motion and oscillation; and wave motion. Computer-based laboratory work seeks to demonstrate the validity of theoretical descriptions and to impart a deeper understanding of physical phenomena and associated concepts. Intended for students majoring in the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics, or pre-health sciences and for non-majors who want or need a more challenging introductory course in physics. (4 credit hours) Pre or co-requisite: MTH 225. Offered: Fall, Spring.
Introductions to the theories and supporting experimental evidence of selected topics in modern physics. Topics include: special relativity; relativistic mass, momentum, and energy; general relativity, warping of space-time, and black holes; particle-wave duality; uncertainty principle; atomic structure; quantum theory and atomic/molecular spectra; lasers; Schrodinger's equation; eigenvalues, eigenfunctions and expectation values; nuclear forces; radioactivity, nuclear fission and fusion; and nuclear reactors. Laboratory work involves experiments that explore the quantum nature of matter and energy. (4 credit hours)
