3.00 Credits
Dr. Ian A. Blair. Prerequisite(s): Permission of the course director. This advanced course for graduate students combines didactic lectures from Penn faculty with oral presentations and oral assignments from the students. Students should have either completed PHRM 560, Princliples in Cancer Signaling and Therapeutics or PHRM 640, Topics in Cancer Pharmacology or equivalent classes. The faculty will present overviews of current and emerging topics in cancer pharmacology. Emphasis of the presentations will be on the translation of basic science discoveries into therapeutic agents. Students will choose related topics to explore in more detail. In consultation with Dr. Blair, students will prepare a 45-minute presentation (using Power Point slides). Each student will give at least two presentations during the semester. The faculty teaching the course will be available for help with the presentations. The written assignment will involve a 10-page double spaced paper (exclusive of references) with a maximum of 25 references. The assignment will consist of a literature review in the area of one of the presentation topics chosen by the student. Additional information can be obtained from the Center for Cancer Pharmacology web site: http://www.med.upenn.edu/ccp/

Physical World Sector. All classes. Prerequisite(s): Entrance credit in algebra and trigonometry. An introduction to the physical theories of the mechanical universe. The courses focuses on the development and principles of Newtonian mechanics, relativity and the relativistic mechanics of Einstein, and the quantum mechanics needed to describe atomic and nuclear phenomena. This course cannot be taken for credit by a student also receiving credit for PHYS 008, 009, or any physics course numbered 100 or greater.

Physical World Sector. All classes. Prerequisite(s): Entrance credit in algebra and trigonometry. Introductory course for students in architecture stressing statics, but also covering such topics as fluid flow, waves, electricity, and energy. This course cannot be taken for credit by a student also receiving credit for any physics course numbered 100 or greater.

Natural Science & Mathematics Sector. Class of 2010 and beyond. Prerequisite(s): Algebra and Trigonometry. May be counted as Science Studies for students in Class of 2009 and prior. Target audience: Non-science majors (although science/engineering students are welcome). The developed world's dependence on fossil fuels for energy production has extremely undesirable economic, environmental, and political consequences, and is likely to be mankind's greatest challenge in the 21st century. We describe the physical principles of energy, its production and consumption, and environmental consequences, including the greenhouse effect. We will examine a number of alternative modes of energy generation - fossil fuels, biomass, wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear -and study the physical and technological aspects of each, and their societal, environmental and economic impacts over the construction and operational lifetimes. No previous study of physics is assumed.

May be counted as a General Requirement Course in Physical World. Class of 2009 & prior only. Freshman seminar. This seminar will be an experimental inquiry into physics of music. The concepts of simple harmonic oscillation, damping, coupling, resonance, and harmonic analysis will be applied to a laboratory study of selected musical instruments, the voice, and rooms. Attention will be given to driving mechanisms, instabilities, sound radiation, transients, harmonic series. This course cannot be taken for credit by a student who has already received credit for PHYS 008, 009, or any physics course numbered 100 or greater.
