| ASTR 0001-001 | A Survey of the Universe | Mariangela Bernardi | TR 12:00 PM-1:29 PM | A general survey, designed for the non-major, of the facts and theories of the astronomical universe, from solar system, to stars, to galaxies and cosmology. Topics include planets, satellites, small objects in the solar system, and extraterrestrial life; stars, their evolution, and their final state as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes; galaxies, quasars, large structures, background radiation, and big bang cosmology. Elementary algebra and geometry will be used. This course is not recommended for physical-science majors or engineering students. Engineering students receive no credit for this course. Fulfills quantitative data analysis requirement. | Quantitative Data Analysis Physical World Sector |

| ASTR 1212-001 | Introduction to Astrophysics II | Robyn Ellyn Sanderson | TR 10:15 AM-11:44 AM | A basic course for majors in physical sciences and engineering; require for the astrophysics concentration. The course covers fundamental knowledge of Einstein's gravity, the contents of the universe, and the structure and distribution of galaxies. Emphasis is on the key elements of modern cosmology: the mathematical model of the expanding universe, the cosmic microwave background, the early universe and the emergence of large-scale structure in the present universe. | Physical World Sector | ||||||
| PHYS 0016-001 | Energy, Oil, and Global Warming | Marija Drndic | TR 1:45 PM-3:14 PM | The developed world's dependence on fossil fuels for energy production has extremely undesirable economic, environmental, and political consequences, and is likely to be mankind's greatest challenge in the 21st century. We describe the physical principles of energy, its production and consumption, and environmental consequences, including the greenhouse effect. We will examine a number of alternative modes of energy generation - fossil fuels, biomass, wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear - and study the physical and technological aspects of each, and their societal, environmental and economic impacts over the construction and operational lifetimes. No previous study of physics is assumed. | Natural Sciences & Mathematics Sector | ||||||

| PHYS 5532-001 | Quantum Mechanics II | Justin Khoury | MR 3:30 PM-5:00 PM | Continuation of PHYS 5531. Topics covered include the path integral formulation, symmetries in quantum mechanics, scattering theory, and decoherence. Other topics may include time independent and time dependent perturbation theory, and atomic and molecular systems. | |||||||
| PHYS 5564-401 | Laboratory Electronics | James Aguirre | TR 1:45 PM-4:44 PM | A laboratory-intensive survey of analog and digital electronics, intended to teach students of physics or related fields enough electronics to be comfortable learning additional topics on their own from a reference such as Horowitz and Hill. Specific topics will vary from year to year from the selection of topics listed below. Analog topics may include voltage dividers, impedance, filters, operational amplifier circuits, and transistor circuits. Digital topics may include logic gates, finite-state machines, programmable logic devices, digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion, and microcomputer concepts. Recommended for students planning to do experimental work in physical science. Prerequisite: Familiarity with electricity and magnetism at the level of PHYS 0102, PHYS 0141, PHYS 0151, and PHYS 0171. | PHYS3364401 | ||||||
| PHYS 5580-001 | Biological Physics | Eleni Katifori | MW 12:00 PM-1:29 PM | The course will explore the basic physical principles behind the structure and function of life across many length and time scales (molecule, cell, organism, population). Emphasis will be given on overarching physical themes such as entropy and biological noise, and how they affect the organization of living matter and its emergent properties. Topics may include biopolymers and single molecule biophysics, molecular motors, gene and transcription networks, pattern formation in biological systems, phyllotaxis, neural computing and evolution. | Natural Sciences & Mathematics Sector | ||||||
| PHYS 6612-001 | Advanced Statistical Mechanics | Andrea J. Liu | MW 10:15 AM-11:44 AM | In depth study of classical and quantum lattice spin models, perturbation techniques, and the renormalization group. |
