    This class investigates two photographic processes from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Continuing from Alternate Photography I, students will explore the historical and chemical aspects of the following processes: palladium/platinum, and bromoil printing. Students will also make enlarged negatives with ortho-litho film. There will be in-class writing assignments on the required readings from the textbook.

    This class focuses on color, through theory, practice, science, and history to create a deep understanding of color as part of the visual vocabulary of art. While focusing on digital tools, information taught in this class is relevant to all artists, designers, and photographers. In this class, students will learn techniques and skills they are unlikely to receive anywhere else. An effective understanding of color and perception are necessary to best utilize digital tools for displays, projection, and prints. Information in this class is based on both color science and the works of recognized artists across disciplines as a way to learn effective strategies for the use of color. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in (ART 2740 OR PHOTO 2740 OR ARTX 2740) AND Minor status in Photography

    Digital Technology has affected every aspect of the photographic process. Historically, new tools have lead to new forms of expression. Using tools learned in the preceding classes, students will explore visual issues unique to digital photography. Students will develop their personal vision and explore extended possibilities of the medium through a series of projects based on questions about the nature of contemporary photography. This class also explores technologies (such as video and 3D computer modeling ) that are new to contemporary fine arts photography. This class assumes that students are well grounded in technical skills and are prepared to use digital tools to explore aesthetic issues and advanced concepts. Corequisites: "C-" or better in (ART 4740 OR PHOTO 4740) AND Minor status in Photography.

    Conceptual Physics course which satisfies a General Education requirement for majors outside the science and engineering disciplines. The primary objective is to provide a solid foundation in physics principles, focusing on fundamental concepts and logical rather than numerical problem solving. Connections between abstract concepts and familiar objects or phenomena help students develop their physical intuition and demonstrate that the universe is predictable rather than magical.

    Astronomy--from ancient to modern times. Central theme will be the attempt to understand the nature and origin of our solar system starting with early ideas of the cosmos, proceeding through investigations that led to the scientific revolution of the 17th century and culminating with the observations and discoveries made by the 20th-century space program. Topics will include apparent motions of the sun, moon, planets, and stars; seasons and eclipses; principles of light and telescopes. Current films of the planets and their moons, demos and other multimedia activities will enhance the course. The latest Hubble, Spitzer, Chandra and other modern satellite images will supplement the course. Discovery of thousands of planets orbiting other stars will be discussed and related to the creation of our own solar system.

    Modern astronomy--central theme will be modern science's attempt to understand the nature and origin of the universe at large, including the matter and radiation that make it up. Specific topics include stars, exotic stellar objects (white dwarfs, red giants, neutron stars and black holes), supernova explosions, the origin of atomic elements, galaxies, giant radio sources, quasars, clusters of galaxies, the fabric of space and time, and Big Bang cosmology.

    This interesting course combines physics with anatomy and physiology to tell the story of how the body operates. We cover food and energy metabolism, how trauma occurs in the body. We discuss the meaning of blood pressure how the heart and lungs operate. We cover how we hear, how we see and how x-rays and MRI scans work. There will be lectures on cancer treatment as well as how a person is injured skiing and riding mountain bikes. With each subject we discuss common diseases and treatments.

    Principles of physics are illustrated through application to hi-fidelity sound reproduction systems. Concepts are presented with demonstrations rather than mathematical analysis. Topics include waves and interference, resonant frequencies, sound quality and intensity, wow and flutter, electricity and magnetism, and harmonic analysis. Laboratory demonstrations include loudspeakers, sound amplifiers, and tuners.

    This is a preparatory course for introductory physics (PHYS 2210). It focuses primarily on developing math and problem solving skills using interesting physics & astronomy content. The course will improve student fluency in algebra, vectors, trigonometry, and basic geometry through regular practice of solving problems. It will also teach students how physicists approach problem solving more generally. Students will also be exposed to derivatives and their physical meaning. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in MATH1050 OR (AccuplacerCLM 80+ OR AccuplacerAAF 263+) Corequisites: MATH1060 OR MATH1080 OR MATH 1215 OR Accuplacer CLM 90+ OR Accuplacer AAF 276+ OR ACT Math 28+ OR SAT Math 650+
