An introduction to the concepts and laws of physics, and how their applications can be used to understand the behavior of familiar phenomena and objects. Concepts are emphasized more than formulas and numbers.

The first semester of a two-semester introductory course in physics. A knowledge of algebra and trigonometry is assumed. Mechanics (forces, Newton's laws of motion), wave phenomena, and thermodynamics.

The continuation of Introductory Physics-Mechanics, Waves, Thermodynamics. Electricity and electric circuits, magnetism, geometric and wave optics, and elementary atomic and nuclear physics.

The first semester of a two-semester introductory course in physics for science majors. Students are assumed to have a basic grasp of differential calculus. Mechanics (forces, Newton's laws of motion), wave phenomena, and thermodynamics.

The continuation of Introductory Physics for Science and Engineering Students-Mechanics, Waves, Thermodynamics. Electricity, electric fields, and electric circuits, magnetism and magnetic fields, geometric and wave optics, and elementary atomic and nuclear physics.

Topics will include fluid statics and dynamics, sound, thermodynamics, special relativity, quantum and nuclear physics, including radioactivity.

The first semester of introductory physics for engineering majors, presented in a student-centered, interactive studio format. Conceptual reasoning, problem-solving, and experimentation are fully integrated. A basic grasp of differential calculus is assumed. Topics include Newtonian mechanics, wave mechanics, and thermodynamics.

The second semester of introductory physics for engineering majors, presented in a student-centered, interactive studio format. Conceptual reasoning, problem-solving, and experimentation are fully integrated. A basic grasp of differential and integral calculus is assumed. Topics include geometric and wave optics, electric and magnetic fields, and linear circuits.

The first semester of introductory physics, presented at a rigorous level. This course is intended primarily, but not exclusively, for prospective majors in physics or physics and astronomy. Students should already have a firm grasp of differential and integral calculus. Topics include Newtonian mechanics, wave mechanics, and thermodynamics.

The second semester of introductory physics, presented at a rigorous level. This course is intended primarily, but not exclusively, for prospective majors in physics or physics and astronomy. Topics include geometric and wave optics, electric and magnetic fields, and linear circuits. Multivariable calculus is used throughout the course.

Topics in physics and astronomy presented by faculty and visitors. Topics will vary from year to year, and several topics will be considered weekly.

A hands-on introduction to practical computer programming, data analysis, and data visualization for physics majors. Students learn the fundamentals of developing, debugging, and running programs in Python or another similar high-level programming language. Students will be exposed to multiple example problems of particular importance to physics. No prior programming experience is assumed.
