COURSES:

PHYSICS (PHYCS)

120 General Physics 1. (5)
First course in calculus-based physics for students in pre-engineering, the physical sciences, or mathematics. Topics include Newtonian mechanics, work and energy, motion, impulse and momentum, elasticity and wave motion, sound, and hydrostatics and hydrodynamics.
Prerequisite or parallel: MATHS 161 or 165.

122 General Physics 2. (5)
Continuation of PHYCS 120. Topics include heat and laws of thermodynamics, Coulomb's law and the electric field, Ampere's law and the magnetic field, introduction to Maxwell's equation, DC and AC circuits; the nature, propagation, and properties of light; and lens systems.
Prerequisite: PHYCS 120.
Parallel: MATHS 162 or 166.

354 Electronics 1. (4)
Introductory DC and AC circuit theory, semiconductor components, power supplies, transistor amplification; integrated circuit operational amplifiers, active filters, oscillators, and function generators. Basic combinational logic circuits and Boolean algebra. Emphasizes applications of integrated circuits.
Prerequisite: PHYCS 122 or permission of the department chairperson.

356 Electronics 2. (4)
Sequential logic circuits including scalars, displays, memories, shift registers, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion techniques. Microprocessor architecture and support electronics for microcomputer design. IC chips and circuits for experiment-to-microcomputer interfacing. Use of a microprocessor development system.
Prerequisite: PHYCS 354 or permission of the department chairperson.
