Old Announcements

Current announcements are on the syllabus page.

The physics colloquium on Monday 4/8 at 4pm in Wngr 328 (right after our class) is of interest. Prof. Vikram Deshpande of University of Utah will talk about topological insulators, 2D materials and carbon nanotubes.

The comprehensive exam for physics graduate students overlaps PH575 class time on Monday 4/1. In the Monday 4/1 class, there will be a review of mathematical concepts used in the class that should not be necessary for the physics grads (though I will repeat the class upon request). Others should attend. The first “official” class is on Wednesday 4/3.

2019 is the International Year of the Periodic Table, celebrating 150 years since Mendeleev discovered the period system. Explore this amazing scientific achievement.
