-
3.00 Credits
Non-technical study of the content and meaning of modern physics. Begins with first-principles of physics. Evaluates concepts of substance, matter, locomotion, atomization, fields, space, time, and randomness. Includes quantum mechanics, Bells Theorem, theory of relativity, and Godels Theorem. Intended for a broad audience, including specialists and non-specialists.
-
1.00 Credits
Individual research project in any area of experimental or theoretical physics or astronomy supervised by a physics or astronomy faculty member. Project need not be original but must add to students' ability to carry out research. May be repeated for a maximum of six credits. Students must have a 3.0 minimum grade-point average to enroll in this course. Preq: Consent of instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
In consultation with and under the direction of a faculty member, students pursue scholarly activities individually or in teams. These creative inquiry projects may be interdisciplinary. Arrangements with mentors must be established prior to registration. To be taken Pass/No Pass only. May be repeated for a maximum of eight credits. Preq: Consent of faculty member/mentor.
-
2.00 Credits
Acquaints students with current research in physics. Seminars are provided where research activities in various areas of physics and astronomy are summarized. Provides a basis for students to choose a suitable topic for a senior thesis. Includes Honors sections. Preq: PHYS 2210.
-
3.00 Credits
Survey of methods and techniques of problem-solving in physics. Emphasizes the application of mathematical techniques to the solution of problems of vectors, fields, and waves in mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum physics. Preq: PHYS 2220.
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of PHYS 3110 focused on introducing various mathematical notions widely used in upper level physics courses, such as differential equations, special functions and complex numbers, and complex functions. Preq: PHYS 3110.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic numerical methods important for data interpretation and modeling in physics, such as interpolation, derivatives, integration, solving differential and matrix equations, and Monte Carlo simulation. Methods are applied to physics problems, including realistic projectile motion, harmonic oscillators, chaotic pendulum, nonlinear systems, and Ising model. Preq: PHYS 2220.
-
3.00 Credits
