Physics
PS 102 Concepts of Physics (4)
Prerequisite: MAT100 - Beginning Algebra, TST004 - Assessment
This course provides a qualitative introduction to the science of physics. Principles from Classic, Relativity and Quantum Theories are considered. The topics include: motion, forces, energy, thermodynamics, waves, electromagnetism, atomic physics, Special and General Reliativity. This course is intended as a broad-based introduction to physics for students who are not majoring in science. Three hours of lecture and one and a half hours of lab per week.
PS 203 General Physics I (5)
Prerequisite: MAT104 - College Algebra
This course includes the study of units, physical quantities and vectors, motion, forces and equilibrium, oscillations and waves, gravitation, work, energy and thermodynamics. A first semester introductory course for students who require algebra-based physics. Includes three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week.
PS 204 General Physics II (5)
Prerequisite: PS 203 - General Physics I
Continues General Physics I, includes the study of electricity, mangetism, electromagnetic induction, electromagnetic waves, optics, atomic and nuclear physics. A second semester course for students who require algebra-based physics. Includes three hours of lecture, on ehour of rectitation and two hours of lab per week.
PS 215 College Physics I (5)
Prerequisite: MAT110 - Calculus II
Covers in detail the analysis of units, physical quantities and vectors, motion, forces and equilibrium, oscillations and waves, gravitation, work, energy and thermodynamics. A first semester introductory course for students who require calculus-based physics such as engineering, chemistry, physics and pre-med majors. Includes three hours of lecture, one hours of recitation and two hours of lab per week. Additional purchase of lab manual may be required.
PS 216 College Physics II (5)
Prerequisite: PS 215 - College Physics I
Continues College Physics I, includes the study of electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, electromagnetic waves, optics, atomic and nuclear physics.
