Physics 476: Astrophysics
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This is the first of a four-semester sequence in astrophysics, with two semesters of classical astrophysics of stars and stellar systems, followed by two semesters of high-energy astrophysics of cosmic rays, radio, X-ray and gamma-ray astronomies. Each of these is a self-contained course and may be attended by advanced undergraduates and graduate students. In the first semester we discuss observations of stars; stellar populations; physical processes in stars; birth, evolutions, and death of stars; energy generation; nucleosynthesis; variable stars; supernovae; collapsed objects; solar neutrinos; helioseismology; and selected topics in galactic astrophysics, cosmology, and exobiology. Additional reading assignments for students registered for Physics 576. Prerequisites: Physics 411, Physics 421, and Physics 463, or permission of the instructor.

Physics 478: From Black Holes to the Big Bang
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
An introduction to general relativity. The goal is to illustrate important features of general relativity without the full-blown mathematics of Einstein's equations by restricting attention to spherically symmetric space times. Topics include: principle of equivalence; curved spacetime; spherical stars and black holes; the Big Bang model, observational cosmology. Prerequisite: Physics 411 or permission of instructor.

PNP 200: Introduction Cognitive Science
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
We seek to understand the mind-brain by integrating findings from several of the cognitive sciences, including philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, anthropology, and artificial intelligence. This course considers multiple perspectives on such topics as mental imagery, concepts, rationality, consciousness, emotion, language, thought, memory, attention, and machine intelligence. Prerequisite: completion of at least one of the following courses: Psych 100B, Phil 120F, Phil 125C, Biol 296A, MBB 120A, or Ling 170D.

PNP 201: Inquiry in the Cognitive Sciences
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Understanding the mind-brain involves orchestrating a variety of conceptual tools and modes of inquiry from the cognitive sciences. This course offers a hands-on introduction to a variety of research tactics used in the behavioral and biological sciences and emphasizes the advantages of combining them. For example, neuroimaging can enhance the interpretation of experiments by cognitive psychologists, and modeling can be used to simulate and understand the effects of brain lesions. Prerequisite: completion of at least one of the following courses: Psych 100B, Phil 120F, Phil 125C, Biol 296A, MBB 120, or Ling 170D.
