Fundamentals of wave motion, vibration of strings, sound waves, resonance, harmonic analysis, sound intensity and the decibel, physics of the ear and theories of hearing, physics of speech, elementary properties of microphones and speakers. Prerequisite to SLHS 312. (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. No laboratory. Prerequisite: Basic Math Skills (R1) proficiency, or equivalent. (Gen.Ed. PS)

This course addresses advanced topics in Classical Mechanics. The colloquium is based on the topics covered in PHYS 421, but with an emphasis on establishing interdisciplinary connections between Classical Mechanics, E&M, relativistic motion, and Hamiltonian & Lagrangian formulations.

The area exam practicum is designed to deepen and test a student's familiarity with the area of philosophy that is the student's proposed area of research for the doctoral dissertation. Students must form a committee, agree with the committee on a reading list, produce a document summarizing the philosophical theses in the reading list, and then take an oral examination regarding the area in question.
