Prerequisites: MATH 1261 or ( PHYS 1011 and MATH 1113). An introductory course that will include material from mechanics, thermodynamics, and waves. Elementary differential calculus will be used.
Corequisite: PHYS 2211. Laboratory course to accompany PHYS 2211. Additional laboratory fee required; see semester course schedule for amount.
Prerequisites: PHYS 2211 and MATH 1262 or (PHYS 1012 and MATH 1261). An introductory course that will include material from electromagnetism, optics, and modern physics. Elementary differential and integral calculus will be used. Corequisite: PHYS 2212L.
Prerequisite: PHYS 2212. Laboratory course to accompany PHYS 2212. This course has a laboratory fee. Corequisite: PHYS 2212.
This course is required of all physics majors and is to be taken in the Fall semester of their second year. An overview of support services and leadership opportunities will be presented in order to facilitate development of an academic portfolio and an experiential transcript. These resources are expected to contribute to the student's successful completion of a B.S. in Physics at GCSU.
Prerequisite: Permission of department. Consideration of topics in which courses are not otherwise offered, but for which there is a current need at the freshman/sophomore level. This course is repeatable for credit.
Prerequisite: Department approval. PHYS 2999 will provide physics majors with a foundation in research methods. To this aim students will investigate areas ranging from exploring the physical literature to the understanding of physical research. This course is intended to serve as preparation for physical research (PHYS 4999). The subject of physical research is as diverse as the physics faculty and consequently the course content is expected to change at the discretion of the faculty member teaching the course. This course will count as an elective in the physics major. This course is repeatable for credit.
