PH 425: Condensed Matter Physics
3.00 Credits
Boston College
Condensed matter physics concerns all aspects of the physics of "condensed" materials, that is, solids, liquids, gels and plasma. It is the science behind many technologically-relevant applied and integrated science and engineering fields. This course primarily covers the solid state, starting with crystal lattices and their vibrations (phonons), and descriptions of crystalline metals, semiconductors, insulators and superconductors. It covers in some detail the electrical, magnetic, optical and thermal properties of materials, and introduces the student to noncrystalline solids and so-called "soft condensed matter".

PH 430: Numerical Methods and Scientific Computing
4.00 Credits
Boston College
This course introduces students to a variety of numerical methods and then applies these methods to solve a broad range of scientific problems. These problems include examples from physics as well as several other disciplines, including chemistry, mathematics, economics, and finance. Numerical techniques for solving problems expressed in terms of matrix, differential and integral equations will be developed. Other topics will include statistical sampling and Fourier and Laplace transforms.

PH 441: Optics
3.00 Credits
Boston College
The purpose of this course is to present to advanced undergraduate students a treatment of the basic principles of Optics. The course will deal at length with physical optics, namely, propogation and nature of light, coherence, interference and diffraction. A treatment of geometrical optics, including lenses and optical instruments, will follow. Finally, the course will deal with the theory of optical amplification and lasers.

PH 532: Senior Thesis
3.00 Credits
Boston College
A semester-long project in the course of which a student carries out an investigation and research of an original nature or formulates a mature synthesis of a topic in physics. The results are presented as a written thesis, which the student will defend in an oral examination. This course is highly recommended for majors considering graduate study in physics.

PH 535: Experiments in Physics I
3.00 Credits
Boston College
The course includes experiments in optics, solid state physics, nuclear physics, spectroscopy, x-ray, and electron diffraction. Students will carry out independent projects aimed at acquiring a sound understanding of both the physical principles involved in each subject area and of the principles and problems of modern experimental physics.

PO 021: How to Rule the World:Intro to Political Theory
3.00 Credits
Boston College
This course will explore the highest political theme: the requirements of great political rule. What must we do, and know, in order to govern well? Should we be guided by the concern for justice, for example, or by the sometimes nasty demands of "national security"? We'll read a small number of foundational texts that all deal, in very different ways, with the requirements of great political leadership. Along the way we'll encounter the founder of the Persian Empire, the greatest king in the Hebrew Bible, Shakespeare's wickedest king, America's greatest president, and THE teacher of princes, Machiavelli.
