Physics 110A: Awesome Ideas in Physics
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The ideas of physics that have revolutionized our perception of the world and reality. Emphasis is on understanding a selected set of crucial concepts without losing track of the numbers. Using the writings of Hawking, Feynman, and Lightman, a study is made of such topics as energy and conservation laws, the relativity of time, the wave-particle duality, the modern picture of matter at the smallest and the largest distance scales, and the history of the universe. Must be taken for a letter grade. No prerequisites.

Physics 111: Variational Calculus -- A Mathematical Blade for Cutting Edge Science
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Variational calculus, a fancy generalization of ordinary calculus, is the study of functionals. In variational calculus one tries to find the special function that extremizes a functional. The applications of variational calculus are ubiquitous in modern science. Variational calculus is the mathematical setting for describing the physical world. In all areas of classical and quantum physics, the physical world is expressed in terms of functions that extremize specific functionals. In this seminar variational calculus is explained at an elementary level, and many of its applications in science are examined. A good understanding of elementary first-year calculus is required to take this seminar.

Physics 125A: Solar System Astronomy
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Designed for the nonscience major, this course deals with the planets, their moons and rings, comets, meteorites and interplanetary dust particles. In order to understand both classical astronomy and the results obtained from modern telescopes and the space program, basic scientific ideas (including optics and the laws of motion) are reviewed first. There also is some discussion of astronomical history to show how we have arrived at our present ideas of the structure and evolution of the solar system. Prerequisites: high school algebra and trigonometry or concurrent enrollment in Math 131.

Physics 197: Physics I
4.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
An advanced, calculus-based introduction to central concepts in classical and modern physics for students who desire to major in physics or another physical science or who have a special interest in physics. The course is structured around three themes that are treated in depth: conservation laws, Newtonian physics, and special relativity. A daily regimen of homework and reading as well as active class participation are integral parts of the course. Corequisite: Math 132 (Calculus II). Concurrent registration in a Physics 197 lab section is required. Credit may not be obtained for both Physics 117 and Physics 197. Students who intend to major in Physics are encouraged to register for Section 03.
