-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of the study of classical electricity and magnetism. Topics include electromagnetic waves, absorption and dispersion, wave, wave guides, gauge transformations, and radiation.
-
2.00 Credits
This is an advanced level laboratory physics course in Electricity, Magnetism and Modern Physics. Advanced experiments from the areas of Electricity, Magnetism, Optics and Atomic, Nuclear and Solid State Physics are performed. Topics in error and data analysis are included.
-
3.00 Credits
This first part of this course will systematically cover classical thermodynamics with focus on four laws of thermodynamics and their applications and specific attention to heat engines. The second part of the course will provide an introduction to statistical mechanics, leading up to a derivation of the macroscopic results of thermodynamics from the underlying microscopic theory.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the essential numerical methods used in physics and engineering, based on writing and debugging computer programs to implement those methods. Students will acquire the skills and the tools to analyze complex physics and engineering problems numerically, encode them in appropriate software, to be complied and evaluated on computers to arrive at precise solutions and to present those solutions in graphical format if applicable. Course work will involve programming in Mathematica, Matlab, Fortran and /or C/C++ as appropriate.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the physics of astronomical phenomena, from processes within our Solar System to the creation and evolution of stars, galaxies, and the Universe. The course is designed for physics majors and other science majors with strong interest in astronomy, physics, and mathematics. This course takes a mathematically rigorous approach of applying basic principles of physics to astronomy, and therefore also provides a foundation for more advanced (undergraduate and graduate level) coursework in astrophysics.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an upper-level course on mathematical methods in physics. Topics include calculus variation, special functions, complex functions and residue theorem, partial differential equations, and probability statistics.
-
3.00 Credits
This general education course examines the central concepts of physics by correlating them with patterns of life, human behavior and society. The course is ideas-driven, with no math beyond elementary arithmetic and geometry. A comprehensive picture of physics is conveyed, covering classical physics, quantum mechanics, relativity, elementary particles and statistical mechanics. The course will use analogies from common life experiences to build intuition about physical laws. This course does not satisfy major, concomitant, or specialization requirements for Secondary Education and/or Liberal Arts and Science majors or count toward major GPA for Physics majors.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the instrumentation commonly used to perform measurements of physical quantities. The underlying physics of different sensors is described, and then these sensors are used in experiments. Interface circuits and detection techniques are also explored Extensive laboratory work is involved.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. Topics include the application of Schrodinger equation in one-dimensional systems, Hilbert space formalism, the hydrogen atom, angular momentum algebra, and philosophical implications of quantum mechanics.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the second part of the study of quantum mechanics. Topics include time-independent perturbation theory, adiabatic approximation, and scattering.
