These viewings will takeplace in groups where students will periodically work together on shortproblems, as they would do in the main lecture.Recommended Prep:Mathematics preparation at least at the level of Mathematics 1bconcurrently is required. However, some elementary ideas frommultivariable calculus may be used and students are encouraged totake Mathematics 21a concurrently.Additional Course Attributes:AttributeQuantitative Reasoning with DataFAS: Course LevelFAS Divisional DistributionAll: Cross Reg AvailabilityValue(s)YesPrimarily for Undergraduate StudentsScience & Engineering & Applied ScienceAvailable for Harvard Cross RegistrationPhysics 15BIntroductory Electromagnetism and Statistical Physics (111896)Girma HailuRobert WesterveltKeith Zengel2020 Fall (4 Credits)HARVARD UNIVERSITYSchedule:Page 2 of 49TBD8/6/2020 10:41 AM
Instructor Permissions:NoneEnrollment Cap:n/aElectricity and magnetism. Topics include electrostatics, electric currents, magnetic field, electromagneticinduction, Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic radiation, magnetic fields in materials, and some basicnotions in kinetic theory, entropy, temperature, and phase transition associated with electricity andmagnetism.Course Notes:Principles of Scientific Inquiry (PSI) is the laboratory component ofPhysics 15b. Students use creative problem-solving in applyingtheoretical topics to explore physical phenomena and design real lifeapplications. Topics include experimental design, model testing, erroranalysis, basic programming, introductory circuit analysis, andpractical applications of electromagnetism. PSI will meet weeklythroughout the semester.Class Notes:The instructors of the course will survey the students enrolled in thecourse to find out the best times for lectures and labs.Recommended Prep:Physics 15a, Physics 16, or written permission of the Head Tutor inPhysics. Mathematics preparation at least at the level of Mathematics21a taken concurrently is required. Vector calculus, (div, grad and curl)are used extensively--in principle, this is taught in the course. Studentstaking Mathematics 21a concurrently will likely find that someconcepts are introduced in Physics 15b before they have seen them inMathematics 21a. Some students may wish to postpone Physics 15buntil they have completed Mathematics 21a.Additional Course Attributes:AttributeFAS: Course LevelQuantitative Reasoning with DataAll: Cross Reg AvailabilityFAS Divisional DistributionValue(s)Primarily for Undergraduate StudentsYesAvailable for Harvard Cross RegistrationScience & Engineering & Applied SciencePhysics 15CWave Phenomena (124154)Matteo MitranoMarkus Greiner2020 Fall (4 Credits)Instructor Permissions:NoneSchedule:MW 1030 AM - 1145 AMEnrollment Cap:n/aForced oscillation and resonance; coupled oscillators and normal modes; Fourier series; Electromagneticwaves, radiation, longitudinal oscillations, sound; traveling waves; signals, wave packets and groupvelocity; two- and three-dimensional waves; polarization; geometrical and physical optics; interference anddiffraction.

The student must be accepted by somemember of the faculty doing research in the student's field of interest. The form of the research depends onthe student's interest and experience, the nature of the particular field of physics, and facilities and supportavailable. Students wishing to write a senior thesis can do so by arranging for a sponsor and enrolling inthis course.Course Notes:A list of possible faculty sponsors and their fields is available inLyman 238 and on the Physics Department Web page.

Modern research uses all of the topics learned in physics courses, thus UGs are introducedto current research, including old and new developments and burning problems; they will learn from theHarvard experts as well as each other. The WNS is preceded by assigned reading and studentpresentations to the class on the basic underlying physics. Students develop critical skills in oralpresentations, writing about research topics, and engaging in self and peer evaluation.Course Notes:Primarily for junior and senior concentrators, however interestedsophomores are welcome.Class Notes:All students and Gs are welcome to the WNS. During Covid, facultypresentations will be recorded and videos are watched prior to theWNS. Students prepare at least one Monday introductory presentationon Zoom and these are recorded. At the WNS the faculty describestheir career trajectory and attending students ask questions on theircareer, physics research, and research opportunities. Toaccommodate students who may be in different time zones the WNSwill be held on Wednesday at 4:30 pm; Mondays will be at 3 pm.Additional Course Attributes:AttributeFAS Divisional DistributionAll: Cross Reg AvailabilityFAS: Course LevelValue(s)Science & Engineering & Applied ScienceAvailable for Harvard Cross RegistrationPrimarily for Undergraduate StudentsPhysics 123BLaboratory Electronics (124108)David Abrams2020 Fall (4 Credits)Instructor Permissions:InstructorSchedule:TR 0130 PM - 0530 PMEnrollment Cap:10A lab-intensive introduction to digital electronic circuit design.

sequential circuits including finite state machines. We continue with analog-digital interfacing, the use ofmicrocontrollers at the assembly and machine code level and programmable logic devices (FPGAs). Wewill also discuss data conversion techniques.Course Notes:Physics 123b is the same course as Physics 223b; students may nottake both for credit. If you are a graduate student, please enroll in223b. Limited to 10 students. If you would like to take the courseincluding the analog material, you should wait until it is offered asPhysics 123 or ES153.Class Notes:The course will consist of a combination of pre-recorded and livelectures. We will meet virtually twice a week for the live lectures or areview of the pre-recorded material, followed by the course lab.Students will work in breakout rooms in groups of two on the labexercises.

Sensory systems are physical measuring devices, and are therefore subject tocertain limits imposed by physics. Here we will consider the physics of sensory measurement andperception, and study ways that biological systems have solved their underlying physical problems. We willdiscuss specific cases in vision, olfaction, and hearing from a physicist's point of view.Class Notes:The scheduled class meetings (Tu, Th 9-10:15 EST) will be discussionsof the material presented in the pre-recorded lectures and readingassignments. If any students are unable to attend at 9 AM (e.g.,because of time zone), Prof. Samuel will hold a second class meetinglater on Tuesdays and Thursdays (which will be regularly scheduledbased on a student poll at the start of class). Attendance at either the 9AM or later meeting is mandatory. Students are free to join both. Allzoom meetings will be recorded and made available on the website.Class participation is expected either live during these class meetingsor through online discussions on Slack. For more information aboutthe course and the schedule, please see the Canvas site.Recommended Prep:Math 21a,b, Physics 15, or by permission of the instructor.Requirements:Anti-Requisite: Cannot be taken for credit if NEURO 141 alreadycomplete.HARVARD UNIVERSITYPage 8 of 498/6/2020 10:41 AM
