PHY 1000 - Bosons to Bridges to Black Holes

Credits: 4
Drawing examples from astronomy, physics, and engineering, this course will introduce students to foundational physical principles in the areas of statics, dynamics, fluids, and thermodynamics, as well as topics at the forefront of science. In-class activities will help reinforce those concepts while improving students’ understanding of experimental design, estimation, and data analysis. This course also will connect basic mathematics concepts to the physical sciences, while also introducing and applying more advanced mathematical topics.
