Course Information for PHYS 123:
Title: Introduction to Modern and Classical Physics
Professor: Staff.
Hours: 3
Description: F, core (with 181). This course, along with 124, serves
as an introduction to both classical and modern physics for students planning
to major in science or mathematics. It also introduces some concepts from
astronomy. Mathematically qualified students are encouraged to satisfy
the core requirement with 123/181 rather than with 110. Topics in classical
physics include mechanics and thermodynamics. The nature of scientific
study in general and its place in one's world and life view are discussed.
Prerequisites: concurrent registration in or completion of 181 and Mathematics
161.
Course Information for PHYS 124:
Title: Introduction to Modern and Classical Physics
Professor: Staff.
Hours: 3
Description: S. A continuation of 123, which is a prerequisite.
Prerequisites: Mathematics 161 and concurrent registration in Mathematics
162 and Physics 182.
Course Information for PHYS 181:
Title: Basic Electrical Measurements
Professor: Staff.
Hours: 1
Description: F. An introduction to basic D.C. electrical measurements
including Kirchhoff's Laws, potentiometer circuits, and bridge circuits.
Techniques of data handling and analysis and a brief introduction to A.C.
circuits are included.
Course Information for PHYS 182:
