7 courses with the subject PHYS, 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.
MATH 123 or ENGR 114 . A calculus-based study of kinematics, Newton’s Laws, rotational motion, gravitation, and the conservation laws of classical mechanics. Three hours lecture and one three-hour laboratory. It is recommended that students without credit for MATH 123 - Calculus I, take ENGR 114 - Applied Calculus for Engineering, in the preceding J-term and take MATH 123 concurrently with this course.
PHYS 171 and MATH 123 and either MATH 124 or ENGR 114 . A calculus-based study of electricity, magnetism, circuits, electromagnetic waves, and Maxwell’s Equation. Three hours lecture and one three-hour laboratory. It is recommended that students without credit for MATH 124 - Calculus II, take ENGR 114 - Calculus for Engineering, in the preceding J-term and take MATH 124 concurrently.
PHYS 172 . Selected experiments in classical physics and electrical circuits. Analysis and treatment of uncertainty and error. One three-hour laboratory.
One PHYS course and permission of the instructor. The study of introductory level material by an individual student or by a small group of students under the immediate supervision of a faculty member.
100-level PHYS course and permission of the instructor. The study of an intermediate level topic by an individual student or by a small group of students under the immediate supervision of a faculty member.
One 100-level PHYS course, one 200-level PHYS course, and permission of the instructor. Pursuit of an upper-level research project determined in advance by the student in consultation with a faculty member who will act as the sponsor.
