PHY 653 Recent Science Curricular Developments. 2 hrs Problems in development and implementation of materials, methods and content of recent curricular efforts. Science teaching experience and graduate standing. This course considers exactly soluble problems in the mechanics of discrete and continuous media. This course describes the approximate solution of problems in the mechanics of linear continuous media via variational methods.
Emphasis is placed on finite element analysis.
PHY 671 Electromagnetic Theory. 3 hrs Provides the student with a foundation in the classical theory of the Maxwell field equations and indicates the many cur rent applications. PHY 675 Quantum Mechanics. The Schroedinger equation and its applications in three dimensions, angular momentum, electron spin, Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, Dirac notation, perturbation theories, variational methods, scattering theory. PHY 475 Introduction to Quantum Mechanics.
