PHYSICS 187 PHYSICS 1. GENERAL PHYSICS.—A course of experimental lectures, The subjects treated are mechanics and heat, tall term; electricity and magnetism, winter term; sound and light, spring term. The course is required of students in the College of Engineering, and students of physics, chemistry, and mathematics in the College of Science. The course is to be taken in connection with the laboratory course, Physics 3. Lectures three times a week with a quiz hour. Fall, winter, and spring terms, three-fifths study. Professor CARMAN. Required: Math. 3 or 4. 2. See Physics 1 and 3 for fall term. 3. INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS.—A laboratory course running parallel with Physics 1, and required of the same students. The course consists of a list of quantitative experiments, illustrative of the lectures in general physics, and introductory to more advanced laboratory work. One period of three hours each week. Fall, winter, and spring terms, two-fifths study. Mr. QUICK. Required: Math. 3 or 4. 4. ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC MEASUREMENTS.—An advanced lec- ture and laboratory course in the theory and use of el ectrical and magnetic measuring instruments. Required of students in electrical engineering, and open to others, rail term, half study; winter and spring terms, fidl study. This course may be taken as one and one-half studies in the zvinter term, and a half study in the spring term. Assistant Professor SAGER. Required: 5. Physics 1 and 3; Math. 7, 8, 9. ADVANCED PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS.—A laboratory course sup- plemented by recitations and lectures. This course presupposes Physics 1 and 3 or equivalents. It gives practice in exact physical measurements, and an experimental acquaintance with the more accurate methods of determining various physical constants. Three times weekly through the year. Fall, winter, and spring terms, three-fifths study. This course can also be taken as a full study. Professor CARMAN and Assistant Professor SAGER. Required: Physics 1 and 3. Math. 7, 8, 9 desired. 6. INTRODUCTION TO THEORETICAL PHYSICS.—A course of lectures and recitations, taking up dynamics, fall term; theory of electricity and magnetism, or optics, winter term; and thermodynamics or optics, spring term. Each term is made independent as far as possible. Three times a week. Fall, zvinter, and spring terms, tzvo-fifths study, I'rofessor CAUMAN and Assistant Professor SAGER. Required: Physics 1 and 3; Math. 7, 8, 9.
