      Prerequisite(s): Mathematics 1720 or equivalent. A survey of the topics in classical physics intended primarily for students in pre-professional curricula and majors in various engineering technology concentrations. (Engineering transfer students should take Physics 2110/20.) Topics include mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, electricity and magnetism, and geometrical options. Good working knowledge of algebra and trigonometry is assumed. Heavy emphasis on solutions to numerical problems. PHYS 2010/20 should be taken in sequence. (Many curricula require a laboratory course in physics.) Students in these curricula must also take PHYS 2011/21. Three (1) one hour lectures each week.

      Prerequisites: ENGL 1228. Honors Great Ideas in Science is a seminar course for sophomores in the University Honors Scholars program. The course emphasizes interrelationships among the sciences and between science and culture. With a foundation in physics, the life sciences, and philosophy, students investigate major scientific concepts and the historic and current interdependency of these ideas. Content of the first semester of this year-long course focuses on understanding science as a way of knowing, as well as history and current status of basic concepts in physical and life sciences. Students also delve into the ethical responsibilities associated with scientific advances and their role as decision-makers in society.

      Note: Lecture courses requiring a lab can be taken together or separately, but must both be completed by graduation. Prerequisite: PHYS 2010. A survey of the topics in classical physics intended primarily for students in pre-professional curricula and majors in various engineering technology concentrations. (Engineering transfer students should take Physics 2120.) Topics include electricity and magnetism, wave mechanics, and geometric optics. A good working knowledge of algebra and trigonometry (at least at the high school level) is required before taking this course. Heavy emphasis is made for solutions to numerical problems. PHYS 2020 is the second semester of a two-semester sequence in general physics. (Many curricula require a laboratory course in physics. Students in these curricula must also take PHYS 2021.) Three hours lof ecture each week.

      Prerequisites: PHYS 2018. A seminar course for sophomores in the University Honors Scholars program. This course builds on the concepts learned in Honors Great Ideas in Science I by focusing on important concepts of the physical and life sciences and the interrelationships between these disciplines. A specific theme or current issue to provide a platform to investigate and understand the interdependency, differences and similarities of the various sciences.

      A survey of physics for students majoring in technical fields, such as physics, chemistry, engineering, etc. Students in pre-professional studies (pre-med, pre-dentistry, etc.) who desire a stronger preparation for professional school also can take this course. Topics include classical mechanics and thermodynamics. One semester of calculus is required before taking this course. Heavy emphasis is made for the solutions to numerical problems. PHYS 2110 is the first semester of a two-semester sequence in calculus-based classical physics. Three hours lecture and three hours of laboratory/recitation each week.
