  • Think about PHYS 152 for spring

    Environmental Physics Course Second Five Weeks of Spring Term

    To majors interested in environmental issues, consider Environmental Physics (Phys 152). In this class, your will get to look at environmental issues through the lens of physics, mainly those related to energy (especially thermodynamics) and the environment. It is a second-five-week spring course which has a prerequisite of an introductory physics five-week course.  Mostly it is taken by majors from other sciences, and only rarely by physicists.  Recently we realized that it can provide useful insights even to majors, with its emphasis on practical applications (including labs and a tour of Carleton’s energy infrastructure).  It might make an especially attractive spring term package when combined with “What Physicists Do,” the 1-credit, first five week lecture series. Yes, some of it will repeat material you have seen elsewhere, but much will be new. Contact Joel for more details.
