• Welcome to Physics 244: Modern Physics.  This course is primarily for engineering students, but covers many of the same topics as Physics 241:  Introduction to Modern Physics
• Topics Include: Quantum mechanics, atomic structure of matter, physical properties of solids, nuclear physics; emphasis on fundamental concepts to aid the student in engineering applications. Prerequisites: Physics 202 or 208. Not open to those who have had Physics 205, or 241.

Study Tips

a)  Read text before lectures
b)  Come to lectures, discussions, office hours with questions
c)  Work through by yourself as many problems as possible. 
d) The point of physics is derivation from first principles (linking apparently disconnected ideas).
e) Correct reasoning is more important than correct final numbers.
f)  Math is a language, not the goal.
g) If you work on homework with other students, redo the problems later by yourself to see if you can do them on your own.
