The nature of space and time from the viewpoint of the special theory of relativity. Historical perspective. A variety of paradoxes and puzzles including the twin paradox. The speed of light as an upper limit. Muon decay. Photons. Basic high school algebra and geometry required. (Gen.Ed. PS)

The fundamental ideas of physics, a minimum of mathematics. Selected phenomena of everyday existence (motion, sound, electricity). Physics beyond the range of our senses, the realm of atoms and nuclei (quantum physics), the universe (cosmology), high speed phenomena (relativity). For nonscience majors. PHYSICS 103 serves as an optional laboratory to accompany this course. Prerequisite: Basic Math Skills (R1) proficiency, or equivalent. (Gen.Ed. PS)
