PHYS 380 - Theoretical Methods in Physics and Engineering (3)

This course covers the advanced concepts, techniques, and mathematical manipulations needed to prepare sophomore and junior physics majors for their upper-level physics courses. Unlike a typical upper-level math class where the emphasis is on proofs of theorems, this course is geared to understanding why the structures and techniques work and to practice using the structures/techniques in context of practical physics or engineering problems. Prereqs: MATH 270 and PHYS 102 or PHYS 204 . Offered: Fall, on rotation.
