PHYS 2120 - Intro Phys for Sci II

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Physics

Description:

PHYS 2120 is a 4 credit hour course that gives a rigorous introduction to the foundations of electricity and magnetism, the fundamental concepts describing electric charges, electric and magnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, and optics. In addition, basic concepts of modern physics, including quantum mechanics, and relativity, atomic, nuclear and condensed matter physics as well as cosmology are discussed. The course is presented within the broad context of all fundamental scientific disciplines. While mathematically rigorous and calculus based, it is made specifically for students within the University of Utah's Integrated Science Core Curriculum study track. While the content covered by this course is similar to the content covered by PHYS2220, this course has a specific focus on applications in Chemistry and Biology. The course will allow for little to no time to revisit mathematical methods that are prerequisites, including mathematical methods that are prerequisites of MATH1210 such as elementary algebra and trigonometry.
