T PHYS 120 Physics Collaborative Learning Seminar (1, max. 3)
Enhances problem-solving skills for physics by having students work with a facilitator to strengthen their skills in critical thinking via group problem sessions in physics and its applications. Co-requisite: either T PHYS 121, T PHYS 122 or T PHYS 123. Credit/no-credit only.
T PHYS 121 Physics: Mechanics (6) NSc
Explores principles of mechanics: motion, momentum, work and energy, Newton's laws, rotation, and gravity. Includes analyses using calculus and lab activities. Prerequisite: a minimum grade of 2.0 in either TMATH 122, TMATH 124, or MATH 124.
T PHYS 122 Physics: Electromagnetism (6) NSc
Explores principles of electromagnetism: charge, electric force and fields, flux and potential, circuits, magnetic force and fields, and Maxwell's equations. Includes analyses using calculus and lab activities. Prerequisite: a minimum grade of 2.0 in T PHYS 121; and a minimum grade of 2.0 in either TMATH 125 or MATH 125.
T PHYS 123 Physics: Waves, Light, Heat (6) NSc
Explores principles of oscillatory motion, electromagnetic waves, optics, waves in matter, fluids, and thermodynamics. Includes analyses using calculus and lab activities. Prerequisite: a minimum grade of 2.0 in T PHYS 122; and a minimum grade of 2.0 in either TMATH 125 or MATH 125.
