PHYS 199 class schedule data for spring 2005
	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	10145	Independent Study		ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending		Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/05-05/04/05 Special Approval: Instructor Approval Required Section Info: INDEPENDENT STUDY. To register for independent study under PHYS 199, use the PHYS 199 CRN (available from the departmental undergraduate records office) specific to the instructor with whom you have arranged to work. (You cannot register under the general CRN 10145.)
	40292	Laboratory-Discussion	BCS	4:00PM -5:20PM	W	257 Loomis Laboratory	Hubler, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/05-05/04/05 Degree Notes: Discovery course. Credit: 1 hours Section Info: EXPLORING THE BEHAVIOR OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS: CHAOS, FRACTALS AND ARTIFICIAL LIFE. The behavior of complicated systems with many parts will be explored with hands-on computer simulations and lab experiments. Students will experiment with lightning, turbulence, explosions, and human rhythms and use simple computer models to imitate their irregular and symmetric patterns and dynamics and will develop an intuition as to why isolated complex systems prefer harmony and symmetry whereas competing complex systems prefer chaos. Applications in business, engineering, and social sciences will be discussed. PHYS 199 BCS is part of the first year Discovery Program: enrollment is restricted to freshmen. Students should enroll in only one Discovery Course. Students who enroll in more than one Discovery course may be dropped from the additional Discovery courses. For a listing of these courses and for course descriptions, see the Discovery Program Booklet or http://www.provost.uiuc.edu/students/discovery.
	38670	Lecture-Discussion	HM	4:00PM -5:50PM	M	257 Loomis Laboratory	Pitts, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/05-05/04/05 Credit: 1 hours Section Info: HONORS SEMINAR: TOPICS IN MECHANICS. PREREQUISITES: CONCURRENT REGISTRATION IN PHYS 211 AND CONSENT OF INSTRUCTOR. PHYS 199HM CAN BE USED TO SATISFY THE HONORS COMPONENT OF PHYS 211. PHYS 199HM is the honors supplement to PHYS 211 and is intended for those students intending to major in physics or who have a strong interest in the subject. Areas to be addressed include rotational and central force motion, non-inertial frames, non-linear systems and post-Newtonian mechanics. The use of simple visualization tools such as Mathematica and Excel will be encouraged.
	38671	Lecture-Discussion	HO	1:00PM -2:50PM	M	139 Loomis Laboratory	Makins, N	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/05-05/04/05 Credit: 1 hours Section Info: HONORS SEMINAR: TOPICS IN ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM. PREREQUISITES: PHYS 211, CONCURRENT REGISTRATION IN PHYS 212, AND CONSENT OF INSTRUCTOR. PHYS 199HO CAN BE USED TO SATISFY THE HONORS COMPONENT OF PHYS 212. Students investigate special topics in electricity and magnetism. Through weekly meetings (similar in format to the discussion sections of Physics 211 and 212), students will derive for themselves some of the surprising features of our post-classical physical world. For example, the need for special relativity, the existence of magnetic fields, and the origin of electromagnetic radiation are consequences of simple observations such as the constancy of the speed of light. Other topics will include the nature of Gauss' law and Maxwell's equations, potentials and superposition, amplifiers, analog computers, and the role of quantum mechanics in electrodynamics. PHYS 199HO is intended for students who have been comfortable with the level of difficulty of PHYS 211, and whose math skills are fairly strong. It allows students to confront in greater depth some of the most interesting intellectual issues in classical electrodynamics. The course will use calculus as a problem-solving tool.
	38672	Lecture-Discussion	HT	3:00PM -4:50PM	M	236 Loomis Laboratory	Thaler, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/05-05/04/05 Credit: 1 hours Section Info: HONORS SEMINAR: TOPICS IN HEAT, THERMODYNAMICS, AND MODERN PHYSICS. PREREQUISITES: PHYS 211 AND PHYS 212 AND CONCURRENT REGISTRATION IN PHYS 213 AND PHYS 214 AND CONSENT OF INSTRUCTOR. PHYS 199HT CAN BE USED TO SATISFY THE HONORS COMPONENT OF PHYS 213 AND PHYS 214. PHYS 199HT is the honors supplement to PHYS 213/214 and is intended for those students either planning to major/minor in physics or having a strong interest in the subject. Areas to be covered during PHYS 213 include diffusion and heat conduction, the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution and the ideal gas, the Planck distribution and radiation, free energy and the chemical potential, and quantum gases. Areas to be covered during PHYS 214 include particle scattering, photon quantum states, simple approximation methods (e.g., variational methods), particle exchange, and quantum statistics.
	38673	Discussion/ Recitation	M1	10:00AM -11:50AM	R	234 Loomis Laboratory	Scott, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/05-05/04/05 Credit: 1 hours Section Info: Section M1 (or M2 or M3 or M4) is only for students taking Spring 2005 PHYS 211 who took Fall 2004 PHYS 100.
	38563	Discussion/ Recitation	M2	1:00PM -2:50PM	R	234 Loomis Laboratory	Scott, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/05-05/04/05 Credit: 1 hours Section Info: Section M2 (or M1 or M3 or M4) is only for students taking Spring 2005 PHYS 211 who took Fall 2004 PHYS 100.
	38564	Discussion/ Recitation	M3	3:00PM -4:50PM	R	234 Loomis Laboratory	Scott, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/05-05/04/05 Credit: 1 hours Section Info: Section M3 (or M1 or M2 or M4) is only for students taking Spring 2005 PHYS 211 who took Fall 2004 PHYS 100.
