All of these topics can form the basis for a good term paper. This list is not at all comprehensive. It is taken from the topics chosen by students in previous semesters. Some topics are certainly better than others. Some depend on physical concepts not discussed in this semester's material and may be difficult for you to do well. There are many other fine topics that do not appear below. -- Lou Bloomfield
