  • Abstract
    Analytical skills provide the theoretical framework for much of physics. In the real world, however, solutions to problems typically require creative combinations of analytic, experimental, and computational techniques. Recognizing this need, the physics department at the University of St. Thomas developed an integrated physics curriculum emphasizing analytical, computational, experimental, and communication skills
