Students are introduced to the general laws governing optics, modern physics, and thermodynamics using a calculus-based approach. Several technological applications of these subjects are discussed and incorporated into group projects developed along the term. A problem solving approach, using mathematical expressions and symbols, is routinely employed in lectures and homework to illustrate the laws of physics governing real world situations.
