PHY 250

Waves, Optics, and Aerodynamics (3 Cr.)

Prerequisite: PHY 200

Description: This calculus-based course provides a fundamental understanding of fluid dynamics, oscillations and waves, optics, and thermodynamics. By understanding the physical laws governing these phenomena, students will be able to implement ray casting and ray tracing algorithms, as well as create realistic flight simulators, lens effects, and many-body simulations.
