Physics
PHYS 1401   General Physics  (4,3,3).   Designed primarily for students such as premedical, pre-pharmacy, geology, and architecture, who do not expect to do additional work in engineering or physics. Elementary vector algebra, mechanics, heat, thermodynamics and sound. Prerequisite: MATH 1314, MATH 1316, or concurrent enrollment.

PHYS 1402   General Physics  (4,3,3).   Electricity and magnetism, light, and modern physics. Prerequisite: PHYS 1401 or permission of instructor.

PHYS 1411   Introduction to Astronomy I  (4,3,3).   A journey through the solar system. Begins with the history of astronomy and covers such topics as the sun, earth, moon, planets, comets, meteors, and asteroids. Recent developments and discoveries are presented. Star maps, telescopes, and sky observations are stressed in lab.

PHYS 1412   Introduction to Astronomy II  (4,3,3).   A journey through the entire universe. Begin with the sun and study the life and death of stars. Included are nebulae, pulsars, quasars, white dwarfs, and black holes. The beginnings of the universe and UFO's are touched upon.

PHYS 1413   Introductory Physics  (4,3,3).   Topics will include mechanics, properties of liquids and gases, heat, electricity and magnetism, waves, sound, optics, and modern physics with emphasis on medical applications. Prerequisite: MATH 1314 or concurrent enrollment.

PHYS 1415   Physical Science I  (4,3,3).   A survey of the principles of physics, astronomy, geology, and weather. The material is integrated where pos- sible. (Three hours lecture and three hours of lab per week).

PHYS 1417   Physical Science II  (4,3,3).   A survey of the principles of physics, astronomy, geology, and weather with more emphasis on astronomy and weather. This course may be taken before or after Physical Science I.

PHYS 2425   Technical Physics I  (4,3,3).   Designed primarily for students of engineering, physics, the physical sciences, or anyone needing a more mathematically rigorous physics course. Topics will include vector algebra, mechanics, thermodynamics, sound and wave motion. Prerequisite: MATH 2413. Corequisite: MATH 2414.

PHYS 2426   Technical Physics II  (4,3,3).   Topics include electricity, magnetism, light and optics. Prerequisite: PHYS 2425 or permission of instructor. Corequisite: MATH 2415.
