PHYS 371: Methods of Mathematical Physics
4.00 Credits
University of San Francisco
Prerequisites: PHYS - 210 and MATH - 211. A study of selected mathematical techniques of universal applicability across the different branches of theoretical physics. Emphasis is placed on the physicist's approach to formulating and solving problems with sophisticated mathematical tools. A typical selection includes matrices, Fourier series, integral transforms, ordinary and partial differential equations, including Green's functions and Sturm-Liouville theory, and complex analysis. Offered every Spring.

PHYS 380: Foundations of Computational Neuroscience
4.00 Credits
University of San Francisco
Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. An introduction to the physical, mathematical, and computational concepts and techniques used to formulate biophysical models of neurons and synaptic transmissions to study the brain and neural systems. Simple biological systems, such as population growth and predator-prey models, are used to introduce dynamical systems. This is followed by a physiological description of the neuron, including its biophysical and electrical properties. Each topic covered includes a physiological introduction, physical-mathematical analysis, and computer modeling. Topics include ion movement through cell membranes, single-neuron models, generation of action potentials, synapses and neurotransmitters, neuronal networks, and learning and memory. Software simulation platforms are used both in lectures and in laboratories. The course does not assume previous physics, biology, or programming experience. Three hours lecture and three hours lab weekly.
