The purpose of this class is to examine the concepts and ideas of Physics. It requires the use of many mathematical techniques and applications of technology as they relate to laboratory skills and data acquisition. Many current research areas will be emphasized to provide a background necessary for student research. The major difference between this class and a regular Physics course is the level of research that is expected of students and the mathematical detail that is used in the course.

Note: This schedule is not set in stone. Stuff happens and some things may change, but we will do our best to stick to this schedule.
