This is a stand-alone independent study designed by the student and faculty sponsor that involves frequent interaction between instructor and student. Qualitative and quantitative enrichment must be evident on the proposed contract before consent is given to undertake the study.

Special projects; departmental sponsor required. Prerequisite: introductory physics.

Computational physics in a computer laboratory setting. Numerical techniques and simulations of a variety of physical systems taught concurrently with programming skills using languages such as Python or Matlab. No prior programming experience required.

First half of the experimental course for sophomore majors. Experiments on a range of topics in thermodynamics, simple harmonic motion, and waves. Corequisite: PHYSICS 287.
