MAT&PHY 153

Jump to Comments

Our school is pleased to announce that a new science course will be offered:

Course: The calculus approach to physics MAT&PHY 153

General description: The course will cover a wide range of topics mostly in the field of Mathematics and Physics and is designed to provide a general overview of fundamental concepts in those subjects. Most of the topics covered will be developed analytically as well as experimentally.

Instructor: Sir Isaac Newton

Duration: 2 semesters

Topics covered:

  • Analytical geometry

  • Newton’s laws of motion

  • Mechanics and gravitation

  • Calculus

  • Optics

Textbooks:

  • “Arithmetica Universalis“ 1707 by Sir Isaac Newton

  • “Opticks” 1704 by Sir Isaac Newton

  • “Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica” 1687 by Sir Isaac Newton

* Certain laboratory equipment must be provided by the student (Please bring an apple on the first day of class)

    I would like to register for MAT/PHY 153 not just to simply learn about Newton’s work but to get an opportunity to better understand Newton’s impact on our modern world. Isaac Newton united physics and astronomy in a single science and fulfilled the dreams of countless pioneers before him.

    While he was unable to fully unlock the secrets of motion and gravity, the laws that he formulated provided convincing proof that we inhabit an orderly and knowable universe. And that is his greatest work of all. The notion that we live in a universe that can be understood through physical means.

    I would like to register MAT &PHY 153 in the fall and spring of 07-08. I believe course will be extremely interesting. (Calculus oh boy!!) Also optics, learnin about light and it’sprooperties and the interaction with light matter just makes me wanna scream! But seriously mechanics and gravitaion would be an interesting topic as well. I wonder if I took this course already (sounds like MAT 122,123,225 and PHY 122,123,222. MAybe it’s just my imagination.! :)
