-
4.00 Credits
Topics may include but need not be restricted to spectroscopy, radiative transfer, solar system evolution and dynamics, stars and stellar evolution, galaxies, and cosmology. (4 hrs lect)
-
3.00 Credits
Selected topics in biophysics with an emphasis on modern medical imaging techniques. Biophysical topics include fluid flow in cardiovascular systems, molecular transport, and the nervous system. Physics techniques covered include electrocardiography, microscopy, x-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, computer tomography, and image reconstruction.
-
3.00 Credits
The description of materials as assemblies of microscopic particles. The various approximations for interparticular forces and their use in order to gain insight into the behavior of the macroscopic system. Aspects of molecular dynamics simulations and Monte Carlo simulations in various statistical ensembles. Projects include questions from experimental research.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Introduction to current physics research topics not typically found in the standard physics curriculum. Investigation into one of these topics and a short public presentation. Exposes students investigating physics as a possible major or minor to presentation and literature searching techniques and helps build skills necessary for senior seminar.
