Ph 14: Freshman Seminar: Albatrosses, Beetles and Cetaceans
6.00 Credits
California Institute of Technology
A quantitative study of some examples of physics applied to macrobiota, including flight (the range of the albatross), surface tension and walking on water (the world of insects), and acoustics (how whales communicate). In addition to learning the art of physical estimation, scaling, and the value of dimensionless numbers, this course offers the opportunity to appreciate who to apply otherwise abstract physics to everyday experience. In addition to problem sets, each student will be expected to research a specific example and present findings to the rest of the class. Instructor: Stevenson.

Ph 181: Biological Interfaces, Transduction, and Sensing
9.00 Credits
California Institute of Technology
Basic physics and chemical physics of interfaces between the fundamental realm of biology—molecules and cells—and the physical world. The course centers on processes that are essential for transduction to energy domains in which modern sensors operate. Information transfer from the biological realm to optical, electronic, and mechanical domains will be considered. Particular attention will be paid to both the sensitivity and the kinetics of transduction processes, and to how fluctuations affect and ultimately impose fundamental limits on such interactions. Instructor: Roukes.

Ph 187: Neural Computation
9.00 Credits
California Institute of Technology
This course investigates computation by neurons. Of primary concern are models of neural computation and their neurological substrate, as well as the physics of collective computation. Thus, neurobiology is used as a motivating factor to introduce the relevant algorithms. Topics include rate-code neural networks, their differential equations, and equivalent circuits; stochastic models and their energy functions; associative memory; supervised and unsupervised learning; development; spike-based computing; single-cell computation; error and noise tolerance. Instructor: Perona.

Ph 199: Frontiers of Fundamental Physics
9.00 Credits
California Institute of Technology
This course will explore the frontiers of research in particle physics and cosmology, focusing on physics at the Large Hadron Collider. Topics include the experimental search for the Higgs boson, supersymmetry and extra dimensions, and the study of the relevant Standard Model backgrounds. The course is geared toward seniors and first-year graduate students who are not in particle physics, although students in particle physics are welcome to attend. Not offered 2012–13.
Prerequisite:
Ph 125 abc, Ph 106 abc, or equivalent.
