PHIL-102 – An Introduction to Philosophic Inquiry 2

Philosophy 102 explores three primary subject areas of philosophy: the nature of reality (metaphysics), the study of knowledge (epistemology), and the question of God (the philosophy of religion). Resources include Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Materialism, Locke, Hume, Kant, Eastern, Indigenous Peoples’ and Feminist perspectives, among others, both classical and contemporary. Some of the issues explored are the question of transcendent reality, the mind-body problem, materialism, free will and determinism, the role of mind and perception in knowing, the central arguments for and against the existence of God, and the role of religious experience.

PHYS-103 – Introduction to Physics 1

Physic 103 is an introduction to classical mechanics: the study of motion and rotation using calculus as a tool. Students study kinematics, the modelling of three-dimensional motion using vectors; and then Newtonian dynamics, the effects of forces on an object. They are introduced to conservation laws: using energy and momentum to describe motion, and changes in motion. Finally, students study rotation: torque, moments of inertia, energy and the conservation of angular momentum.

PHYS-104 – Introduction to Physics 2

This course builds on PHYS 103. Electric fields and electric potentials are calculated from a variety of continuous distributions of electric charge using Coulomb’s Law and Gauss’ Law. The principles of electrostatic equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium in conductors are used to discuss capacitors and resistors, and to calculate the effective capacitance or resistance for circuits. Kirchhoff’s loop rules are used to analyze more sophisticated circuits. Magnetic fields are calculated from distributions of electric current using Ampère’s law; and the force from a magnetic field on a current carrying wire or moving charge is calculated. Electromotive force is calculated using Faraday’s law of induction, and is applied to generators, transformers and inductors. Maxwell’s equations are introduced and used to explain electromagnetic waves. Special relativity is introduced.

Calculus is used throughout this course: including introductions to vector fields, line integrals, surface flux integrals, gradients, and differential equations.

POLI-100 – Introduction to Politics and Government

This course assists students gain a foundational understanding of political science’s key concepts and practicalities. Among those considered are the fundamental nature of politics; power in all its guises; government systems; political beliefs, attitudes, and values; and various ideologies. From these bases, consideration is then given to constitution(s), executive(s), bureaucracy(ies), party(ies), interest group(s), election(s), and international relations. From their study and by working up case studies, students should become better informed politically and able to proceed to other political science courses.
