PHY 304 – Optics
An intermediate exploration of geometrical and physical optics, focusing on light propagation and its interaction with matter within the frameworks of geometrical and physical optics approximations.
PHY 645 – Methods of Mathematical Physics
This graduate level course in Methods of Mathematical Physics reviews and develops linear vector spaces, tensors, group theory analysis, differential and integral transforms, and special functions, emphasizing their application to physics, such as electrodynamics, classical, quantum and statistical mechanics, etc.
PS 648 – Modern Physics for Teachers
A professional development distance course targeted towards physics educators, surveying the topics of modern physics. Among the subjects covered are: the experimental basis for a new physics, the wave properties of matter and the Schrodinger wave equation of quantum mechanics, atomic, nuclear and particle physics, as well as Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity, black holes and cosmology. The material will be presented at an approachable level, relevant to high school and entry college level physics educators.
