PHYS 101 is designed for students who want a university level introduction to physics. It will serve students majoring in physics without requiring prior knowledge in physics. The course will also serve any (science or otherwise) student, interested ...

PHYS 142 covers topics in electrostatics and will also cover mechanics (circular and harmonic motion) and required math concepts (differential equations and integration).

PHYS 145 is designed to teach basic computing, data analysis, physics, and mathematics transferrable skills and their applications to practical physics problems. It will serve students majoring in physics and is also open to any (science or otherwise...

PHYS 241 will provide students with an introductory-level understanding of quantum mechanics and its applications. The course will also introduce students to the microscopic description of temperature, pressure and other properties of matter based on...

PHYS 242 will provide a comprehensive foundation in electromagnetic theory using vector calculus, from the laws of electrostatics and magnetostatics to the time-varying Maxwell equations. The course will also introduce applications of these concepts ...

An introduction to classical mechanics and relativity at an intermediate level, including Lagrangian mechanics, Hamiltonian mechanics, special relativity and a conceptual introduction to general relativity.

PHYS 245 will focus on skills required for experimental physics in laboratory environments. This will include planning of experimental designs and the processing, interpretation, documentation and presentation of experimental results. The course will...
