Course No.	PHYS 101 Q Course
Title	Introduction to Physics
Professor	Matthew Deady
Schedule	Mon Th 10:30 am - 12:30 pm HEG 106 LAB: Mon 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm HEG 107 LAB: Mon 3:40 pm - 5:40 pm HEG 107 LAB: Mon 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm HEG 107

A calculus-based survey of Physics. This first semester covers topics in mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, and wave motion. The course stresses ideas--the unifying principles and characteristic models of physics. Labs develop the crucial ability to elicit understanding of the physical world.

Corequisite: Math 111.

Title	Analog Electronics
Professor	Burton Brody
Schedule	Wed 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm HEG 107 LAB: Tu 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm HEG 107

A sophisticated introduction to discrete component and integrated circuit analog electronics, from basic DC circuitry, RC-circuits, rectifiers, and bipolar transistors, through FETs, operational amplifiers, timer chips, voltage regulators, and other analog ICs. Equal parts lecture and lab.

Corequisites: at least one physics and math course.

Title	Modern Physics
Professor	Peter Skiff
Schedule	Wed 10:30 am - 12:00 pm ROSE 108 Fr 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm HEG 106

A topical course in the development of modern physics from the theory of relativity to quantum mechanics. Relativity, photoelectric effect, X-ray production and scattering, nuclear transmutation, alpha and beta radiation processes, particles and quasiparticles.

Prerequisites: Physics 101-102, Mathematics 111 & 114.

Course No.	PHYS 323
Title	Methods of Theoretical Physics
Professor	Matthew Deady
Schedule	TBA

2 credits Mathematical and theoretical methods will be developed to use in advanced physics courses. Fourier series, vector calculus, power series, and other techniques will be used in constructing mathematical models for solving scientific

problems.

Corequisite: Mathematics 114 or permission of the instructor.
