-
3.00 Credits
Explores the applied mathematics necessary to solve ordinary and parital differential equations in closed and series forms for boundary value problems in intermediate and advanced physics. Coordinate transformations, tensor analysis, special functions and series involving complex variables and integral transforms are also considered.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers vectors, generalized corrdinates, and coordinate-transformations to study the mechanics of a particle, and a system of particles in one, two, and three dimensions. Central forces, planetary, and satellite motion, rotation, oscillations, and conservation laws in the Newtonian formulation of classical mechanics will be included and used to solve dynamical problems for various mechanical systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Treats elements of vector analysis, electrostatics, special techniques for finding electric potential, electric field in matter, magnetostatics, magnetic field in matter, electrodynamics, Maxwell's equations, and electromagnetic waves at the calculus level.
-
3.00 Credits
Quantum mechanics following methods of Schrodinger and Heisenberg, application to harmonic oscillator, three-dimensional Schrodinger equation, hydrogen atom, electron in a magnetic field, normal and anomalous Zeeman effect, spin.
-
3.00 Credits
Survey of nuclear physics, nuclear size, nuclear mass, reaction theory, types of radioactive decay, nuclear models, nuclear forces, and elementary particles.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Special Topic courses are offered on an experimental or temporary basis to explore topics that are not included in the established curriculum. A given topic may be offered under any special topic identity no more than three times. Special topics numbered 481 are primarily for upper-level undergraduate students.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Students with interest in independent study of a topic not offered in the curriculum may propose a plan of study in conjunction with a faculty member.Approval is based on academic appropriateness and availability of resources. Work is supervised by a Physics Department faculty member but does not necessarily involve regular lecture or laboratory hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Reciprocal lattice, crystal structure, the quantization of fields to produce quasi-particles such as phonons, magnons, excitons. Fermi gas of electrons, energy bands, semiconductor crystals, and photoconductivity.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis of contemporary (post-1945) state system and forces shaping the world in which we live. Student is given a framework within which to analyze contemporary international politics.
-
3.00 Credits
Investigates the way American government works (and why sometimes it does not). Examines who gets what, why and how in America and who pays for it, with an emphasis on understanding the origin, structure and functions of U.S. national government. Looks beyond the divisions between liberals and conservatives to understand and evaluate contemporary political events and practices. Founding principles and their modern application are a core focus.
