Matter in the geological realm may also be studied. The course is designed for the non-science major. PHSC 1401 is not a prerequisite for PHSC 1402. Physics PHYS 1401 General Physics Introductory study of the principles and application of mechanics, wave motion, and sound, with emphasis on fundamental concepts and problem solving. PHYS 1402 General Physics Continuation of PHYS 1401, completing the survey of physics.
Emphasis includes electricity, magnetism, optics, atomic structure, and nuclear physics.
PHYS 3301 Analytical Mechanics Particle and rigid body kinematics, using a vector approach. Offered periodically in the Spring. Introduction to scalar and vector products, vector differential calculus, vector integral calculus in two and three dimensions, and elements of tensor analysis emphasizing physical aspects. PHYS 3303 Modern Physics Introduction to the study of atomic and nuclear structure of matter, electronic structure of the atom, and nuclear structure and wave nature of matter. Offered periodically in the Spring.
