Physics: Understanding the natural world and the fundamental
constituents of the universe.
Physics 125
An introductory survey of the concepts and principles of physics.
The properties of matter will be explored through the fields of mechanics, acoustics
and thermodynamics.
Physics 126
This course is a continuing survey of the concepts and principles
of physics. The properties of matter will be further explored through the fields
of electricity, magnetism, optics and modern physics.
Physics
195
An exploration of the science of mechanics, concerning the set
of physical laws governing and mathematically describing the motions of single
objects and groups. The methods developed will be used in both 196 and 197.
Physics
196
An introduction to the physics of the electromagnetic field:
A field encompassing all of space, which exerts a force on electric charges,
and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of such particles.
Physics
197
This overview of modern physics explores propagation, energy
transport, interference and diffraction effects of waves. Various systems are
explored, including the electromagnetic and nuclear properties of the atom.

How to do well in a physics course:
1) Check schedule and announcements often.
2) Skim the text before class. Develop
questions. (Try for higher order questions.)
3) Ask your questions and listen for the answer. (Keep asking until you understand)
4) Take a complete set of class notes.
5) Read with purpose. Reinforce with examples. (Work additional
problems )
