• PHYS 401: Theoretical Physics

  3.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  Explores the applied mathematics necessary to solve ordinary and parital differential equations in closed and series forms for boundary value problems in intermediate and advanced physics. Coordinate transformations, tensor analysis, special functions and series involving complex variables and integral transforms are also considered.

• PHYS 441: Classical Mechanics

  3.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  Covers vectors, generalized corrdinates, and coordinate-transformations to study the mechanics of a particle, and a system of particles in one, two, and three dimensions. Central forces, planetary, and satellite motion, rotation, oscillations, and conservation laws in the Newtonian formulation of classical mechanics will be included and used to solve dynamical problems for various mechanical systems.

• PLSC 111: American Government

  3.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  Investigates the way American government works (and why sometimes it does not). Examines who gets what, why and how in America and who pays for it, with an emphasis on understanding the origin, structure and functions of U.S. national government. Looks beyond the divisions between liberals and conservatives to understand and evaluate contemporary political events and practices. Founding principles and their modern application are a core focus.
