The second part of a two-semester calculus based course providing a survey of the principles of physics for students planning to study medicine or life sciences. Topics include: electrostatic fields and potential, capacitors, DC circuits, magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic waves, wave optics (interference and diffraction) and properties of light (including reflection, refraction, polarization), geometric optics and lenses, optical instruments. Students must enroll in both a lecture (Physics 54L) and a lab/recitation (Physics 54L9,R) section in order to receive credit for the course. Closed to students having credit for Physics 42L, 62L or 63L. Instructor: Thomas

This course is an introduction to classical mechanics intended primarily for engineering students. It begins with the topics of vectors, force, Newton's third law, torque, and static equilibrium. It then takes up the physics of particles and rigid objects in motion, including kinematics (the description of moving objects), Newton's laws, momentum, angular momentum, work, and energy. Applications include universal gravitation and satellite orbits, complex mechanical systems, harmonic oscillations and resonance. Basic MATLAB programming is used to explore the behavior of several systems in which the equations of motion cannot be solved analytically.

A practical introduction to analog and digital electronics for scientists and engineers. The course emphasis is on the analysis of passive and active analog circuits, from simple LCR circuits to diodes, transistors and operational amplifiers employing negative feedback. Frequency and time dependent transfer functions provide the conceptual framework and prove useful for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Accompanying laboratory exercises cover design and simulation of analog circuits using modern computer-aided-design (CAD) tools, as well as construction and measurement of real circuits. Students also work on a mini-project of their own choice using CAD tools. Latest examples from research are provided.

In this course we apply quantum mechanics to a variety of physical situations. The major part of the course will involve understanding new phenomena that occur at the quantum level and learning approximation techniques that allow us to estimate quantities in the real world. Topics to be covered include: Angular momentum addition, vector and tensor operators, time independent perturbation theory, fine structure of the hydrogen atom, time dependent perturbation theory, interaction of light with atoms, the WKB approximation, applications to bound states and tunneling, the variational approximation, basics of scattering theory, many body quantum mechanics, identical particles: fermions versus bosons, multi-electron atoms.
