The Physics & Astronomy Department is offering several courses that help Ohio University students keep on track in engineering and pre-health majors, as well as a popular course on astronomy (black holes and big bang) that fills general education requirements.

ASTR 1000 Survey of Astronomy

Tier II Natural Sciences (2NS)

Class #2561 | Second Summer Session

Description: A general introduction to astronomy, with emphasis on the structure of the universe beyond our solar system. Topics include historical astronomy, the sun, stars, galaxies, interstellar matter, black holes, the “Big Bang” theory, and the evolution of the universe. No prereq, but familiarity with basic algebra and geometry is beneficial. Must enroll in ASTR 1000.

PHYS 2001 Introduction to Physics

Tier II Natural Sciences (2NS)

Class #2540 | First Summer Session

Description: An algebra-based physics course for health science professions, pre-meds etc. It is the first course in physics; open to students from all areas. Students should have a background in algebra, trigonometry and geometry, but no calculus is required. It is recommended for students in liberal arts, architecture, industrial technology, geological sciences, and pre-medicine. It covers the mechanics of solids and liquids, oscillations, heat, thermodynamics. No credit for 2001 after 2051.

PHYS 2002 Introduction to Physics

Tier II Natural Sciences (2NS)

Class #2541 | Second Summer Session

Description: And algebra-based physics course for health science professions, pre-meds etc. A continuation of 2001, this is the second course in physics; open to students from all areas. Students should have a background in algebra, trigonometry and geometry, but no calculus is required. It is recommended for students in liberal arts, architecture, industrial technology, geological sciences, and premedicine. It includes electricity, magnetism, waves, sound, light, relativity, quantum, atomic, and nuclear physics.

PHYS 2051 General Physics

Tier II Natural Sciences (2NS)

Class #2551 | First Summer Session

Description: PHYS 2051 is the first semester of calculus physics for scientists and engineers. Classical physics with calculus and vectors. Newtonian mechanics, rotational dynamics, gravitation, oscillations, fluids, thermodynamics.
