4.00 Credits
This course serves as an introduction to the tools needed to solve intermediate and upper-level physics problems. Topics to be covered include matrix algebra, vector calculus, Fourier analysis, and partial differential equations in rectangular coordinates. (1016-306, 1017-312, 313) Class 4, Credit 4 (F)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of 1017-480. In the context of intermediate-level physics problems, this course serves as an introduction to the tools needed to solve those encountered in upper-level physics courses. Topics typically covered include series solutions to ordinary differential equations, solving partial differential equations in various coordinate systems, phase-space treatment of differential equations (stability, non-linear systems), matrix eigenvalue problems, and the calculus of variations. (1017-480) Class 4, Credit 4, (W)
-
12.00 Credits
In collaboration with faculty mentor(s), students will carry out the fi rst phase of an experimental, theoretical or computational physics research project, will prepare an interim paper, and will present a short talk on their progress to physics faculty and students. The projects are those planned during the capstone preparatory course taken during the prior spring quarter. (1017-400) Lab 12, Credit 4 (F)
-
9.00 Credits
In collaboration with faculty mentor(s), students will carry out the second phase of an experimental, theoretical or computational physics research project and will prepare a written paper and present an oral report and a poster on their project to physics faculty and students. The projects are those planned during the capstone preparatory course taken during spring quarter, and commenced during the prior fall quarter. (1017-502) Lab 9, Credit 3 (W)
-
6.00 Credits
Advanced laboratory course with experiments based on topics in Optical Physics I and II. Laboratory work includes experimental design, construction, data collection, analysis and reporting. (1017-455) Lab 6, Credit 3 ( offered upon suffi cient request) ( F or W)
-
6.00 Credits
Advanced laboratory experiments and projects in atomic physics, nuclear physics or solid state physics. Special emphasis on experimental research techniques. (1017-412, 421) Lab 6, Credit 2 (F)
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the concepts and mathematical structure of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. Wave functions and the Schrodinger equation. Solutions to the one-dimensional and three-dimensional time independent Schrodinger equation. Stationary states and their superposition to produce time-dependent states. Quantum-mechanical operators, commutators, and uncertainty principles. Solutions to central potential problems, including the hydrogen atom. (1017-314, 402, 480) Class 4, Credit 4 (F)
-
4.00 Credits
Continued study of the concepts and mathematical structure of non-relativistic quantum mechanics presented in Quantum Mechanics I, with an emphasis on applications to real physical systems. Topics to be covered include: orbital angular momentum, effect of magnetic fi eld on spinning charged particles, systems of identical particles, many electron atoms and band structure solids, and absorption and emission of radiation by atoms. (1017-522) Class 4, Credit 4 (W)
-
4.00 Credits
