PHYSICS (L31)  (Dept. Info) Arts & Sciences  (Policies) FL2024 L31 Physics 125A Solar System Astronomy 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: Primarily designed for the nonscience major, this course deals with the planets, their moons and rings, comets, meteorites and interplanetary dust particles. In order to understand both classical astronomy and the results obtained from modern telescopes and the space program, basic scientific ideas are reviewed first. There will also some discussion of astronomical history to show how we have arrived at our present ideas of the structure and evolution of the solar system. Although the course addresses primarily non-science majors, also science majors can use it as a general introduction to modern astrophysics. There will be no final exam. Interested students can continue to add themselves to the wait list. Freshmen-year students are specially encouraged to enroll.

The course is an advanced first-year course in classical mechanics, taught at a more sophisticated level than Physics 191. The approach is that of an upper-division physics course, with more emphasis on the underlying formal structure, rather than breadth of topics. The main goal is to provide an in-depth coverage of the physical laws that govern the motion of objects, forces, and forms of energy in mechanical systems, as well as an introduction to special relativity. The course is particularly addressed to students considering a physics or mathematics heavy science/engineering majors. L 31 193 students should enroll in a L31 193L Physics I laboratory section. The combination of L31 193 and L31 191L is a replacement for L31 197. Students may not receive credit for more than one of Physics 117A, 197, 191 and 193.

L31 Physics 312 Introduction to Astrophysics 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: Astrophysics is the study of the planets, the Sun and other stars, the Milky Way Galaxy and the other galaxies, the interstellar medium and intergalactic medium, and the Universe itself. This study is aided by our knowledge of the laws of Physics discovered by experiments carried out in laboratories. Occasionally the astronomical observations reveal new fundamental laws of Physics. For example the observations of motions of the planets helped Newton discover the universe square law of gravitation. We begin with the motions of the Sun and the Moon as we see them across the sky, then to the motions of the planets. We then go on to describe how stars are born, and evolve, until they end up as white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. During this evolution, elements like C, N, O, etc. all the way to U were synthesized and dispersed across the Galaxy by stellar winds and supernova explosions. We will also discuss fascinating topics, like, cosmic rays and astronomies with radio, x-ray, gamma-ray and gravitational waves. In short we will discuss everything that is contained in the universe and the evolution of the universe itself. The purpose of the course is to kindle your interest in these exotic phenomena and prepare you for their more detailed study. Knowledge of the Physics described in the introductory course in physics (such as 197 and 198) will be very helpful in readily following the lectures; however a brief summary of the needed background will be provided during the lectures.

Neurons and neural systems are modeled at two levels: (i) at the physical level, in terms of the electrical and chemical signals that are generated and transmitted and (ii) at the information-processing level, in terms of the computational tasks performed. Specific topics include: neuronal electrophysiology, neural codes, neural plasticity, sensory processing, neural network architectures and learning algorithms, and neural networks as dynamical and statistical systems. Course grade is based primarily on an individualized term project. Prerequisite: Phys 191-192 or Phys 193-194 or Phys 197-198 or Phys 205-206, or permission of the instructor.

L31 Physics 400 Physical Science in 12 Problems 1.0 Unit Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: Exercises related to general chemistry, classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, and kinetics, will be solved with numerical software. Each exercise will be accompanied by a lecture, a software template solving a problem and presenting a related take-home problem. The software will allow us to focus on, and treat in a transparent fashion, physical problems without the unworldly idealizations and contrivances found in textbooks. Prerequisites: General Chemistry and/or Physics, and prior or concurrent enrollment in either Chem 401 or Phys 217. The lectures will be in-person however a complete set of taped lectures will also be available. A remote help session will be scheduled at a mutually agreed to time. There are no quizzes, exams or a final.

Essentials of statistical distributions, kernel methods, neural networks, large language models, diffusion models, and many other tools will be presented from this physics based approach. Students will apply these techniques to problems in physics. Apart from the very first assignments, nearly all homework problems will assume the use of Python. If you do not know Python, there will be an additional very brief introduction to Python that the instructor will give in addition to the course lectures.

What is the difference between "someone ran a simulation" and an interesting research result? And what skills does it take? Familiarity with a programming language is, of course, essential, but that is only the beginning. This course will focus on the methodology of computational research, touching also on topics in numerical analysis, statistics and visualization. The format will combine lectures and hands-on experience, with emphasis on research-style small-group projects. Prerequisites:Prerequisite: Physics 191 - 192 or Phys 193 - 194 or Physics 197-198 or Phys 205 - 206, Calculus, and familiarity with a programming language.
