PHYSICS 772 — HIGH ENERGY ASTROPHYSICS

Interactions among the particles, fields, and radiation of interstellar and intergalactic space. Gamma-ray, x-ray, and cosmic ray production, propagation, and detection. Knowledge of electrodynamics (such as PHYSICS 322) strongly encouraged.

PHYSICS 731 — QUANTUM MECHANICS

Schrodinger equation, operator theory, matrix mechanics, transformation theory, Heisenberg representation, orbital angular momentum, bound-state problems, scattering theory, stationary perturbation theory, degenerate systems, time-dependent perturbation theory, Born approximation, other approximation methods. Knowledge of quantum mechanics and atomic physics (such as PHYSICS 449 or 531) strongly encouraged.

PHYSICS 711 — THEORETICAL PHYSICS-DYNAMICS

Lagrange’s equations, Principle of Least Action, orbits and scattering, kinematics of rotation, rigid body dynamics, small oscillations, special relativistic dynamics, Hamiltonian formulation, canonical transformations, Hamilton-Jacobi theory, canonical perturbation theory, chaos, continuum mechanics, introduction to general relativity.

PHYSICS 701 — GRADUATE INTRODUCTORY SEMINARS

Designed to give new students an introduction to the broad range of modern research going on at UW Physics, and to help students find research opportunities in the department. Each week, faculty from each major research area will present their research in a seminar setting. The research areas will include selected topics both in theory and experiment from biophysics; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; plasma; condensed matter; quantum information and computation; high energy and nuclear physics; particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.

Here’s a list of classes I took during undergraduate studies. I have notes of most of these classes so if you would want them shoot me an email and I can share with you.
