PHSC 105: Physical Science* 3 cr.
Prerequisite: MATH 007 or sufficiently high score on a math diagnostic
test. A survey course in physics with attention given to recent
discoveries and applications of physical science knowledge. This
course is not intended for the student who wishes to pursue further
work in any of the areas of physical science and may not be substituted
for the basic course in any of these fields. Three hours of lecture.
PHSC 106: Physical Science* 3 cr.
A survey of selected chemistry topics with attention given to recent
discoveries and applications including the environmental impact
of chemical technology. This course is not intended for the student
who wishes to pursue further work in any of the areas of physical
science and may not be substituted for the basic course in any
of these fields. Also listed as CHEM 106. Three hours of lecture.
