Honors Mechanics
HONORS SEMINAR: TOPICS IN MECHANICS. PREREQUISITES: CONCURRENT REGISTRATION IN PHYS 211 AND CONSENT OF INSTRUCTOR. PHYS 199HM CAN BE USED TO SATISFY THE HONORS COMPONENT OF PHYS 211. PHYS 199HM is the honors supplement to PHYS 211 and is intended for those students intending to major in physics or who have a strong interest in the subject. Areas to be addressed include rotational and central force motion, non-inertial frames, non-linear systems and post-Newtonian mechanics. The use of simple visualization tools such as Mathematica and Excel will be encouraged.

Honors Electricity & Magnetism
HONORS SEMINAR: TOPICS IN ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM. PREREQUISITES: PHYS 211, CONCURRENT REGISTRATION IN PHYS 212, AND CONSENT OF INSTRUCTOR. PHYS 199HO CAN BE USED TO SATISFY THE HONORS COMPONENT OF PHYS 212. Students investigate special topics in electricity and magnetism. Through weekly meetings (similar in format to the discussion sections of Physics 211 and 212), students will derive for themselves some of the surprising features of our post-classical physical world. For example, the need for special relativity, the existence of magnetic fields, and the origin of electromagnetic radiation are consequences of simple observations such as the constancy of the speed of light. Other topics will include the nature of Gauss' law and Maxwell's equations, potentials and superposition, amplifiers, analog computers, and the role of quantum mechanics in electrodynamics. PHYS 199HO is intended for students who have been comfortable with the level of difficulty of PHYS 211, and whose math skills are fairly strong. It allows students to confront in greater depth some of the most interesting intellectual issues in classical electrodynamics. The course will use calculus as a problem-solving tool.

Science and Society
SCIENCE AND SOCIETY. 1 hour. Future politicians, business persons, lawyers, journalists, and other world leaders need to understand science in order to make the crucial decisions that will determine the future of our planet. This Discover Course, intended for non-science majors, will discuss in nontechnical language the science behind various sources of energy (oil, nuclear, solar), nuclear weapons, global warming, outer space, terrorism, and other topics of vital importance. First Year Discovery Program Course. Registration restricted to freshmen. Students should enroll in only one Discovery course.
