Physics 305 is an introduction to the exciting and surprising discoveries
in physics during the twentieth century. It is geared toward students who
have had a one-year background in classical physics (Physics 150-151) and
who are secure enough in the classical foundation to be challenged by new
mind-boggling concepts. This course will stress the concepts of (and methods
of) modern physics and will survey the subjects of relativity, quantum
physics, atomic and nuclear structure, elementary particles and general
relativity. Some of the topics covered are represented by the
figures below.
