• PHYS 415: Computational Physics

  3.00 Credits

  East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course will introduce students to the field of Computational Physics. Students will learn how to use the computer to solve problems in physics that cannot easily be solved analytically (by hand). Besides reading and learning about the techniques, students will be expected to write software to implement some of the techniques learned in class in order to gain insight into the physical phenomena. Students will learn the basics of high-level programming language like C++ or Fortran as part of the course. Prerequisite:    PHYS328 AND CPSC130

• PHYS 431: Electromagnetic Theory

  3.00 Credits

  East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course starts with an introduction to electrostatic problems. The student is then introduced to special relativity and the Lorentz transformation. Special relativity is then used to transform the electrostatic problem to understand magnetic fields, Maxwells equations, and electrodynamics. Finally, an introduction to electromagnetic waves and their propagation is developed. Prerequisite:    PHYS328 AND PHYS162

  This experience is taken upon the initiative of a student who seeks to study with a knowledgeable faculty member in order to deepen a specific interest in a particular academic discipline. Independent study is a process through which a student either sharply increases his/her already advanced knowledge of a subject matter or increases his/her appreciation about an academic discipline that is related to a students advanced knowledge of a subject. The proposed independent study must be submitted to the department for approval. The faculty member supervising the independent study must provide a minimum of five (5) hours of time per credit hour upon request of the student. Prerequisite:    PHYS105 OR PHYS131 OR PHYS161
