College of Arts and Science

This course explores the connection between our everyday existence and the underlying physics’ processes. Students will look at processes – essential to life – ranging from the very small (atomic level) to the very large (universe), and the many length scales in between (cellular level and human being level) as will as make connections between the laws of physics and the numbers that go into them and the prerequisites for the existence of life.
