3.00 Credits
First of a two-part sequence (with PHYS404) that provides an intermediate level treatment of electrostatics and magnetostatics, as well as an introduction to electrodynamics. Topics include a discussion of different techniques used for the calculation of electrostatic and magnetostatic fields in vacuum and in matter, and effects of time varying electric and magnetic fields. PREREQ: PHYS208/PHYS228 and MATH302 or MATH341 or MATH351.

Emphasizes fundamental principles of classical mechanics. Treats in detail and with mathematical rigor Newton's Laws, projectile motion with drag, conservation laws, oscillations, calculus of variation, Lagrange's equations and their application, central force problems, rotational motion of rigid bodies, and coupled oscillations and normal modes. Concludes with introduction to Hamiltonian mechanics. PREREQ: PHYS207/PHYS227, PHYS208/PHYS228 and MATH243. COREQ: MATH 302 or MATH 341 or MATH 351, MATH503 recommended.

3.00 Credits
First in a sequence with PHYS425 that provides introduction to basic principles and applications of quantum mechanics. Emphasis on formalism of quantum mechanics. Schroedinger equation is solved for simple cases such as free-particle motion, simple harmonic oscillator and hydrogen atom, with a basic treatment of angular momentum. Topic of identical particles also considered. PREREQ: MATH341 or MATH302 or MATH349 or MATH351.
-
3.00 Credits
Second in a sequence with PHYS424 that provides introduction to basic principles and applications of quantum mechanics. Emphasis on approximation methods with illustrative applications. Topics include: time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, variational principle, WKB approximation, and introduction to scattering. Applications of quantum mechanics to modern physics and technology discussed. PREREQ: PHYS424.
-
3.00 Credits
Develops fundamental concepts of astronomy, physics, chemistry, and biology in order to identify conditions that may have helped life to originate in the young Earth, and to determine other environments in which those conditions might have occurred in the course of planetary evolution. Attention paid to (1) current cosmology, (2) generation of chemical elements necessary for life, (3) basics of chemistry prior to appearance of life, (4) steps in molecular evolution which could have led to cellular life, and (5) identification of most extreme conditions in which life known to exist, with a survey of where these conditions may arise in solar system and beyond. PREREQ: PHYS207/PHYS227 and PHYS208/PHYS228 or PHYS201/PHYS221 and PHYS202/PHYS222.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to basic computational techniques in science with application to a number of disciplines of current research interest, such as quantum physics, biophysics, statistical mechanics and chaos. PREREQ: MATH302 or MATH341 or MATH351, CISC106, PHYS208/PHYS228 or PHYS245.
