-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of PHYS 8110. Use of integral transforms, integral equations, special functions, calculus of variations and numerical approximations in solutions of physical problems.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental principles of kinetic theory and quantum statistical mechanics; Boltzmann statistics, Fermi-Dirac statistics and Bose-Einstein statistics. Students are expected to have completed a course in thermodynamics or obtained consent of instructor before enrolling in this course. May also be offered as ME 8150.
-
3.00 Credits
Generalized ensemble theory and fluctuations; applications to solids, liquids, gases and blackbody radiation. Preq: ME 8150 or PHYS 8150.
-
3.00 Credits
Physical methods of biological macromolecule structure and function. Models include the application of thermodynamics, electrostatics, polymer physics, molecular dynamics, folding mechanics, chemical kinetics, and quantum mechanics to nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. Biophysical techniques, including computational, structural and experimental methods, are introduced.
-
3.00 Credits
Physical models of cellular structure and function are covered. Models include the application of continuum solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, non-equilibrium polymerization dynamics, reaction-diffusion systems, and master's equations to sub-cellular components such as cytoskeletal structures and membranes, single cells such as microorganisms and mammalian cells, and networks of cell.
-
3.00 Credits
Comprehensive coverage of all major areas of Computational Biophysics. Covers beginning basic objects such as DNA, RNA, protein and membrane; reviews the forces and effects acting between atoms and among the molecules; covers modeling protein folding and protein stability; analyzation of molecular association; and practical exercises. Preq: PHYS 4170 or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Dynamics of particles; variational principles and Lagrange's equations; two-body central force problems; dynamics of rigid bodies; matrix formulations freely used.
-
3.00 Credits
Special relativity in classical mechanics; Hamilton's equations; canonical transformations; Hamilton-Jacobi theory; small oscillations.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on middle and upper atmosphere dynamics, including the general circulation, atmospheric tides, gravity waves, planetary waves, instabilities, and wave-meanflow interactions, such as sudden stratospheric warnings, mesospheric circulations, and equatorial dynamics. Preq: PHYS 4200 or consent of instructor.
