| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2891 This is an upper-level physics elective course which serves as an introduction to the physics of soft condensed matter (squishy stuff!), and will comprise a mixture of seminar-style discussions and chalk talk-like student presentations. Seminar discussions will center around peer-reviewed literature and conference lecture recordings. Students will finish the course having developed general literacy with the core concepts in Soft Matter and an understanding of the major challenges facing professional Soft Matter scientists. During a given semester, the course may follow a narrower theme, like "The Soft Matter Physics of Coffee," or "The Earth as Soft Matter".; Crosslisted: ASTR.; Pre-requisite(s): Math H121, at least two 200-level courses in physics or another natural science; Lottery Preference: Physics majors, astrophysics majors, astro majors and physics/astro minors, seniors, juniors.; Enrollment Limit: 15 Natural Science, C: Physical and Natural Processes (Hav: NA, C) |
