Homeworks

By all means you may work in groups on the homework assignments. Collaboration is an important part of learning and of scholarship in general. However, each student must turn in her or his own writeup of the solutions. If two individual writeups are nearly identical, neither will receive credit. In fairness to your fellow students, late homework will not be accepted.

Description

This is a course of independent study for 4th year undergraduate physics students with interest of working on a physical problem with relevance in modern physics, and learning computer simulation techniques.

Objectives

After completing this course the student will have a basic training in the search of literature and independent study of a problem of interest and relevance in a current physics topic.
