PHY 111Principles of the Physical Sciences4
Introduction to physics and chemistry for non-science majors including their historical, philosophical, and social significance. Exercises are indicative of various scientific methods. Knowledge of basic algebra is assumed. Science credit will not be given after completion of a course in CHE or a PHY course numbered 200 or higher. Three lectures, one 2-hour laboratory/week.
Reciprocal credit: GEO 112. Earth science and astronomy: their nature, history, divisions, and relation to other sciences. The physical laws of nature will be examined as they apply to physical geography, meteorology, and astronomy. Three lectures, one 2-hour laboratory/week.
The first semester involves the study of classical mechanics, wave motion, fluid flow, sound, temperature, and heat. The second involves the study of electricity, magnetism, light, optics, and modern physics. Cannot be used as a PHY Elective toward majors/minors. Three lectures, one 3-hour laboratory/week.

Reciprocal credit: CHE 301. The study of science from a historical and philosophical perspective in an interdisciplinary manner, exploring the complementarity of physical and biological sciences, while addressing relationships to other disciplines such as art, religion, and politics. Examines the role of science in global issues and life issues. Three lecture, 2 lab hours/week.
A non-technical course for the general student presenting a broad view of energy and its relationship to man and the environment. Topics: past and future demands, energy sources, storage and transportation of energy, environmental considerations, conservation, politics, economics, and national policy. Three lectures, 3 lab hours/week.
An introduction to special relativity, quantum mechanics, atomic, and nuclear physics. The laboratory involves investigations in radioactivity, as well as performing some of the classic experiments of modern physics. Three lectures, one 3-hour lab/week.
Modern experimentation, research, data acquisition and analysis. The theory, practice and reporting of research in a scientific format are demonstrated through experiments in atomic, nuclear, solid state, thermodynamics, and optics. One lecture, 4 lab hours/week.
