Physics 310 ,410: Advanced Topics and Experiments
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
Staff PHYS 310 is an optional junior-year research experience open to qualified students. PHYS 410 is a required senior-year capstone research experience. Under the guidance of a faculty mentor, each student works on an experimental or theoretical project that will ideally produce original results. A final thesis and a formal oral presentation are essential components of both courses. Enrollment in PHYS 310 is by permission only. Both courses are offered in the fall only.

Physics 340: Biophysics
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
Staff An introduction to biological physics including a survey of topics such as diffusion, Brownian motion, non-Newtonian fluids, self-assembly, cooperativity, bioenergetics, and nerve impulses, as well as experimental techniques and analytical approaches. Students first develop the interdisciplinary knowledge needed to address biophysical questions. The course then focuses on the reading, presentation, and critique of current biophysics research literature. Although challenging in its breadth, this course is intended to be accessible to juniors and seniors majoring in physics, chemistry, or biology. Prerequisite: PHYS 120 and 121, or 121 and 122, or permission of instructor. Not offered every year.

Physics 371 /371L: Introductory Quantum Mechanics
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
E. Galvez An introduction to elementary quantum mechanics. This course briefly reviews the history and philosophy of quantum mechanics and develops solutions to one-dimensional problems such as the quantum harmonic oscillator. The course then presents the general mathematical formulation of the theory, generalized uncertainty relations, and the matrix formulation of quantum theory. Further applications to spherically symmetric systems such as the hydrogen atom are also developed. A series of associated laboratories ( PHYS 371L) gives students vivid examples of quantum mechanical principles. Offered in the spring only, alternate years.

Physics 402 /402L: Computational Mechanics
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
P. Crotty This course investigates general algorithms and their implementation for the exploration of problems in classical and quantum mechanics. Applications range widely from solar system dynamics and chaotic systems to particles in general quantum potentials. Fourier analysis, including the fast Fourier transform, and its application to the understanding of physical systems and data analysis, are also studied. In addition to graded homework assignments and exams, each student undertakes a major numerical project of his or her choice. The required credit-bearing laboratory PHYS 402L must be taken concurrently with PHYS 402. Offered in the fall only, in alternate years.

Physics 404 /404L: Physical Optics
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
E. Galvez A study of physical optics from the basics to advanced topics, such as optical instrumentation, Fourier optics, laser physics, and holography. The course prepares students for knowledgeable use of optical instruments in fields such as astronomy and teaches modern laser techniques for use in basic and applied research. Four lecture meetings and one laboratory meeting each week. The required credit-bearing laboratory PHYS 404L must be taken concurrently with PHYS 404. Offered in the spring only, in alternate years.

Physics 420: Solid State Physics
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
K. Segall Several important properties of matter in its solid form are examined. The ordered, crystalline nature of most solids is used as a starting point for understanding condensed material and as a basis for introducing the band theory of solids. The course investigates thermal, electrical, and magnetic properties of metals, semiconductors, and insulators. Offered in the fall only, in alternate years.

Physics 422: Relativity and Cosmology
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
P. Crotty At the beginning of the 20th century, Einstein's discovery of the Special and General Theories of Relativity revolutionized understanding of space and time. This course studies both theories; the emphasis is on General Relativity, including cosmology and the study of black holes. Not offered every year.
