PHYS 598 class schedule data for spring 2017
	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	58646	Lecture	PEN	11:00AM -12:50PM	F	Loomis Laboratory	Cooper, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Communicating Physics Research Section Info: Scientific communication skills development through extensive writing and oral-presentation activities. Topics and associated activities will include creating effective scientific abstracts, research papers, referee reports, scientific proposals, figures and figure captions, journal club presentations, research presentations, and scientific posters.
	60112	Lecture	QFT	3:30PM -4:50PM	TR	Loomis Laboratory	Leigh, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Continuation of PHYS 598 ADS. This course will give students a working knowledge of the AdS/QFT correspondence, and its applications in particle physics, hydrodynamics, fluid mechanics, and condensed matter physics. Although students will benefit from having already a good knowledge of quantum field theory (such as from Physics 582-583), all other necessary material will be introduced in class, including rudimentary material on general relativity and string theory. Throughout the course, we will collaboratively develop code using Mathematica and/or Matlab to calculate interesting holographic observables.
