Other majors require the instructor's permission. May be repeated for credit
by performing different experiments. The laboratory has available fifteen
individual experiments, of which two are required per 2 points. Each
experiment is chosen by the student in consultation with the instructor. Each
section meets one afternoon per week, with registration in each section
limited by the laboratory capacity. Experiments (classical and modern) cover
topics in electricity, magnetism, optics, atomic physics, and nuclear
physics.

PHYS G4019y Mathematical Methods of Physics 3 pts. Prerequisites: Differential and integral calculus; linear algebra; PHYS W3003 and PHYS W3007; or the permission of the instructor. This
course will present a wide variety of mathematical ideas and techniques used
in the study of physical systems. Topics will include: ordinary and partial
differential equations; generalized functions; integral transforms; Green's
functions; nonlinear equations, chaos, and solitons; Hilbert space and linear
operators; Feynman path integrals; Riemannian manifolds; tensor analysis;
probability and statistics. There will also be a discussion of applications
to classical mechanics, fluid dynamics, electromagnetism, plasma physics,
quantum mechanics, and general relativity.
PHYS G4021x-G4022y Quantum Mechanics, I and II 3
pts. Prerequisite: PHYS C2601 or C2802, or the equivalent. Formulation of quantum
mechanics in terms of state vectors and linear operators, three-dimensional
spherically symmetric potentials, the theory of angular momentum and spin,
time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, scattering theory,
and identical particles. Selected phenomena from atomic physics, nuclear

PHYS G4040x Introduction to General Relativity 3
pts. Prerequisites: PHYS W3003, PHYS W3007 or the equivalent. Tensor algebra, tensor
analysis, introduction to Riemann geometry. Motion of particles, fluid, and
fields in curved spacetime. Einstein equation. Schwarzschild solution;
test-particle orbits and light bending. Introduction to black holes,
gravitational waves, and cosmological models.
PHYS G4050y Introduction to Particle Physics 3 pts.Not offered in 2013-2014. Prerequisites: PHYS C2601 or C2802, or the equivalent. Review of key concepts in
quantum mechanics and special relativity. Conservation laws, decays,
interactions, oscillations. Atoms, nuclei, hadrons (protons and neutrons)
and quarks. Current theoertical and experimental challenges, including
physics at the Large Hadron Collider.
PHYS G4075y Biology at Physical Extremes Prerequisites: One
year each of introductory physics and biology. This is a combined
lecture/seminar course designed for graduate students and advanced
undergraduates. The course will cover a series of cases where biological
systems take advantage of physical phenomena in counter intuitive and
surprising ways to accomplish their functions. In each of these cases, we
will discuss different physical mechanisms at work. We will limit our
discussions to simple, qualitative arguments. We will also discuss
experimental methods enabling the study of these biological systems. Overall,
the course will expose students to a wide range of physical concepts involved
in biological processes.
