8.333 Statistical Mechanics I: Statistical Mechanics of Particles, Fall 2005
(2005-12)
Statistical Mechanics is a probabilistic approach to equilibrium properties of large numbers of degrees of freedom. In this two-semester course, basic principles are examined. Topics include: thermodynamics, probability ...
8.422 Atomic and Optical Physics II, Spring 2005
(2005-06)
This is the second of a two-semester subject sequence beginning with Atomic and Optical Physics I (8.421) that provides the foundations for contemporary research in selected areas of atomic and optical physics. Topics ...
8.13-14 Experimental Physics I & II "Junior Lab", Fall 2004-Spring 2005
(2005-06)
Junior Lab consists of two undergraduate courses in experimental physics. The courses are offered by the MIT Physics Department, and are usually taken by Juniors (hence the name). Officially, the courses are called ...
8.07 Electromagnetism II, Fall 2005
(2005-12)
This course is the second in a series on Electromagnetism beginning with Electromagnetism I (8.02 or 8.022). It is a survey of basic electromagnetic phenomena: electrostatics; magnetostatics; electromagnetic properties of ...
8.20 Introduction to Special Relativity, January IAP 2005
(2005)
This course introduces the basic ideas and equations of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. If you have hoped to understand the physics of Lorentz contraction, time dilation, the "twin paradox", and E=mc2, ...
8.251 String Theory for Undergraduates, Spring 2005
(2005-06)
Introduction to the main concepts of string theory to undergraduates. Since string theory is quantum mechanics of a relativistic string, the foundations of the subject can be explained to students exposed to both special ...
8.592J / HST.452J Statistical Physics in Biology, Spring 2005
(2005-06)
Statistical Physics in Biology is a survey of problems at the interface of statistical physics and modern biology. Topics include: bioinformatic methods for extracting information content of DNA; gene finding, sequence ...
8.012 Physics I: Classical Mechanics, Fall 2005
(2005-12)
Elementary mechanics, presented at greater depth than in 8.01. Newton's laws, concepts of momentum, energy, angular momentum, rigid body motion, and non-inertial systems. Uses elementary calculus freely. Concurrent ...
8.324 Relativistic Quantum Field Theory II, Fall 2005
(2005-12)
This course is the second course of the quantum field theory trimester sequence beginning with Relativistic Quantum Field Theory I (8.323) and ending with Relativistic Quantum Field Theory III (8.325). It develops in depth ...
