Four lectures and one 2-hour laboratory per week. 71-161 Introduction to the Physical Sciences- W 5 hours An introductory study of the sciences of physics, chemistry, and space science with emphasis on basic concepts and principles as well as the de– velopment of foundational laws pertaining to these disciplines. Four lec– tures and one 2-hour laboratory or five lectures per week. 71-162 Environmental Physical Science-A 5 hours Physical and chemical principles underlying environmental topics of current and long-standing interest are studied. Some topics covered are: energy (nuclear and other kinds), food chemistry and nutrition, soaps, water and air quality, and others, depending on time and class interest. Four lectures and one 2-hour laboratory per week. 71-166 Introduction to Physical Geology-Sp 5 hours An introductory study of the earth and its environment, with emphasis on the physical and chemical properties of minerals, erosion and sedimentation, metamorphism, igneous activity, the structural features of the earth's crust, and geologic time. 71-180 Introduction to Mathematics - A 5 hours An introduction to mathematical concepts including inductive and de– ductive reasoning, logic set theory, numeration systems, consumer mathematics, algebra, and statistics. 71-184, 71-185 Introduction to Analysis 5 hours each quarter A general introduction to modern methods of analysis, including top– ics from algebra and trigonometry. The course is designed for students with inadequate preparation for calculus. Prerequisite: Two years of high school mathematics or permission of instructor 71-200 Environmental Biology Sp 5 hours An integrative study of the Scriptural and ecological principles that provide a basis for stewardship of the environment, as applied to global, national, and community concerns. Laboratories feature field trips to representative aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Three (or four) lectures and one 2-hour (or 3-hour) Jab, totaling 6 contact hours per week. Pre– requisite: 71-100 Principles of Biology or permission of instructor. 71-220 Origins 5 Two models for the origin of the universe, life, and man are de– veloped. The two models, creation and evolution, are examined using available scientific evidence, and predictions based on each model are compared with the scientific evidence.
