A discussion of the natural factors that control the health of women and the environmental, cultural and behavioral conditions that influence this health. A writing-intensive course which focuses on advantages and limitations of technological applications of scientific discoveries. 3 credits, lecture 3 hours Physics Physics 201. A calculus-based course in Newtonian mechanics. The basic equations of motion and relativity will be developed and discussed.
Problem solving is a major part of the course.
The basic principles of electricity and magnetism, along with an introduction to the physics of light, will be explored in this course. Phy 204L 3 credits, lecture 3 hours Phy 203L. Mechanics Laboratory Study of the classical motion of objects, how equations of motion are obeyed in real systems, limitations of theory and error analysis of experimental data. Laboratory Basic principles of DC and AC circuits, magnetism and the propagation of light waves. A study of the principles of electricity, magnetism and light. These principles are studied in the context of biological systems with an emphasis on applying fundamental physics to biological processes at the organismal and cellular level.
