This is a grab bag of lectures, etc., that I've given at various times in the past that do not fit in well with Physics 109N or Physics 252 as I'm teaching them now.
Much of this material was originally presented in summer courses for high school physics teachers. Using History to Teach Science: Virginia Beach presentation, January 11, 2000 Teaching Heat Physics Using Excel Physics 581 for High School Teachers, taught in the Summer of 1998, gave detailed instructions for constructing Excel spreadsheets to analyze a wide variety of dynamical phenomena, including projectiles with air resistance, and planetary orbits. I've also written notes on how to use it to solve a differential equation, Schrödinger's equation, in two of my Physics 252 homework assignments, here and here. Electricity and Magnetism This first lecture covers E&M from the earliest times up to Michael Faraday.
Summer 1995 Lecture on Maxwell's Equations Some Math Applets! Quiz#1 Quiz#2. Physics 252 Home. This website contains the complete set of lecture notes for Physics 252, the fourth semester of our four-semester Introductory Physics course for physics majors. Links to lectures are in the left column. What is “Modern Physics”? “Modern” physics means physics based on the two major breakthroughs of the early the twentieth century: relativity and quantum mechanics. Physics based on what was known before then (Newton’s laws, Maxwell’s equations, thermodynamics) is called “classical” physics. This course traces in some detail just how the new ideas developed. But this is not just a course on concepts: the lectures and homework are sufficient to give the student a basic technical grasp of special relativity, and of Schrödinger’s quantum mechanics. Some Extra Course Materials The Lecture Notes on Special Relativity have been put together in one PDF File here.
