It's near the start of a new semester of physics. Many faculty are working on their plans for introductory physics courses. How many tests should there be? What about homework? Do I want to cover ...

Physics is available to most high school students, but only about two in five students take it (White & Chu, 2026). This ...

A recent study sheds light on why undergrads pursue physics and why majors persist or leave. AIP found that the women who were interested in majoring in physics believed they would do just as well in ...

Undergraduate Prerequisites: some knowledge of algebra and trigonometry. - PY104 is a one semester introduction to the basic physics concepts that relate to the health sciences. Material covered is ...

Introductory physics labs are a little different at Cornell. Instead of doing labs that demonstrate physics concepts they already know to be true, first-year physics students conduct experiments to ...

An introduction to modern theories of the universe and its evolution. Topics include naked eye observation, the solar system, stars, galaxies, and cosmology. Emphasis will be placed on the scientific ...

Look, paying attention in high school wasn’t everyone’s strong suit. There’s no shame in that. In fact, it’s hard enough recalling the name of your physics teacher, let alone Einstein’s theory of ...

There you are in your introductory physics course. The course requirements say that you have to be in Calculus 101 (it's probably not called that) in order to enroll in Physics 101. Why? There are two ...

The basic physics that a budding biologist needs to know is different from what’s useful to an astronomy student, so a new Michigan State University introductory physics curriculum is specifically ...

Basic physical laws governing mechanics, thermodynamics, and waves; examples and applications from the biological sciences, with lab. High school algebra and basic trigonometry required. The ...
