PHY 3115 Introduction to Computational Physics (Sem B)

Computational simulations play an essential role in many areas of physics. This course aims to introduce students the principles of commonly used numerical techniques, such as root finding, integration and differentiation, solving ordinary differential equations, Fourier analysis, etc., and their applications in physics. The course also trains students with hands-on programming skills in Python by implementing the learned concepts into workable codes to solve the programming exercises. This course builds the foundations of the advanced-level computational physics course.

PHY 3272 Introduction to Solid State Physics (Sem B)

This course is designed to provide students with an opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of the key principles and applications of Solid State Physics. This is a self-contained course which includes theoretical descriptions of crystal and electronic structure, lattice dynamics, electrical and optical properties of different materials (metals, semiconductors, dielectrics, magnetic materials and superconductors) based on classical and quantum physics principles.

PHY 3251 Quantum Physics (Sem A)

This course aims to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the principles of quantum mechanics. Topics being covered include wave-particle duality, wavefunctions and their probability interpretation, Schrodinger equation in 1D and 3D problems, quantization of angular momenta, Dirac notation, time-independent perturbation theory.
