Teaching
Complete Sets
of Lecture Notes on the Web:
Physics 109: Galileo and Einstein.
Physics 152: Introductory Physics II for Physics
Majors.
(I’ve
added to these notes since teaching the course—they now contain too much
material to cover in one semester, but have been found useful also in upper
level courses.)
The
course covered four areas of physics, plus some useful math: complex numbers,
exponential integrals and the random walk.
Lectures on Oscillations and
Waves
Lectures on Heat and
Thermodynamics
Physics 751: Graduate Quantum Mechanics.
Physics 1425: for Engineers Powerpoint Slides.
Research Interests
Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, especially low-dimensional systems. One-dimensional magnetic and superconducting systems. Exact mathematical techniques for solving these problems, such as the Bethe Ansatz.
