2 Courses Taught at WPI Spring 2018 PH1120 General Physics - Electricity and Magnetism An introduction to the theory of electricity and magnetism. Topics include: Coulombs law, electric and magnetic fields, capacitance, electrical current and resistance, and electromagnetic induction. Spring 2018 PH1110 General Physics - Mechanics Introductory course in Newtonian mechanics. Topics include: kinematics of motion, vectors, Newtons laws, friction, work-energy, impulse-momentum, for both translational and rotational motion. Courses Taught at Becker College Spring 2018 PHYS2002 Physics II: Electromagnetism and Modern Physics Students will be introduced to the laws of physics which apply to electricity, magnetism, optics and nuclear energy. Special emphasis will placed on the relevance of other basic science material to such topics as nerve conduction, sensory transduction, diagnostic techniques (i.e. ultrasound, NMR, EKG, etc.), and nuclear medicine. Fall 2017 PHYS2001 Physics I: Fundamentals of Classical Mechanics This is an introductory algebra based course. The course introduces natural laws of physics which covers linear and circular motion, gravitational and frictional forces, rotational motion, work and energy, momentum, fluids, thermal physics, and wave motion.
