Teaching

Fall 2008

PHY 141
This course is the first semester of a algebra-based general physics course. Students will learn the phenomena and physical principles of kinematics, Newtonian mechanics, and if time allows, fluid and thermal physics. Students will need sufficient knowledge and fluency in algebra to succeed in this class, for almost all physical principles are expressed at least in this mathematical language.
 
PHY 121L
This course is the laboratory component of the PHY141/PHY161 lecture course. Through the lab activities, students will become familiar with Newtonian mechanics and some aspects of hydrostatics and thermodynamics. Students will also exercise the concept and manipulations of experimental uncertainties.
 

Spring 2008

  PHY 162 - 2nd semester of calculus-based introductory physics series.
  PHY 121L - Laboratory component of PHY141/161.

Fall 2007

  PHY 141 - 1st semester of algebra-based introductory physics series.
  PHY 121L -  Laboratory component of PHY 141/161.
  SCI 105 - Scientific Inquiry.
This course is an introduction of science in a broader sense, including examples drawn from the natural, behavioral and social sciences. The course investigates "science" in terms of its methodology, as well as activities in which human personalities play significant roles. Students will gain essential abilities to understand and evaluate scientific reports shown in daily news, as well as broader perspectives of science.
