Ramamurti Shankar. mw 11.35-12.50 QRSc (34) The first term of a two-term sequence in advanced physics as the field developed from the time of Newton to the age of Einstein. Topics include mechanics, electricity and magnetism, statistical physics, and thermodynamics. The development of classical physics into a "mature" scientific discipline, an idea that was subsequently shaken to the core by the revolutionary discoveries of quantum physics and relativity . Prerequisite : phys 180a, 181b , o r 200a, 201b , o r 260a, 261b . Concurrently wit h phys 301 a or other advanced mathematics course.
