Only math at high school level is required. This revolutionized physics in 1905 and led to amazing predictions, like the existence of black holes and the production of gravitational waves, confirmed in 2016. We will focus on the theory of Relativity. Students get a flavor of what physics is about, including scientific procedures. PHYS 110 Liberal Arts Physics (5) NSc, RSN Physics for students in the arts, humanities and social sciences. PHYS 107 Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, and the Foundations of Our Modern Technological World (5) NSc Explores the principles of quantum mechanics and relativity, with no use of mathematics, and how they enable current and near-future machines that shape our lives. Develops problem-solving techniques and scientific method in a large group setting. PHYS 106 Facilitated Group Inquiry III (2) NSc Laboratory-based development of concepts and reasoning skills. PHYS 105 Facilitated Group Inquiry II (2) NSc Laboratory-based development of concepts and reasoning skills.

PHYS 104 Facilitated Group Inquiry I (2) NSc Laboratory-based development of concepts and reasoning skills. Part of a Freshman Interest Group (FIG) may also be taken by non-FIG students View course details in MyPlan: PHYS 101

Emphasis on depth of understanding and development of reasoning and representational skills essential to the scientific process. PHYS 101 Introduction to Physics though Inquiry I (5-) NSc, RSN Selected topics in physics, emphasizing experiments and the use of evidence to construct models for physical phenomena.
