Introduces classical electrodynamics, quantum theory of radiation, time-dependent perturbation theory, transition probabilities and cross sections describing interaction of various radiations with atomic systems. Applications include theory of nuclear magnetic resonance; Rayleigh, Raman, and Compton scattering; photoelectric effect; and use of thermal neutron scattering as a tool in condensed matter research. 2003-06-01T04:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/78914 11.166 / 11.496 Law, Social Movements, and Public Policy: Comparative and International Experience, Fall 2002 Rajagopal, Balakrishnan The course introduces theoretical frameworks from legal and social movement theories as applied to court opinions, legislation, treaties, law-related articles, and policy-oriented materials and focuses on the impact of the relationship between courts and grassroots activism on current issues like trade, environmental regulation, and human rights enforcement. Students examine case studies of institutional processes including the World Trade Organization and the World Bank from key countries like the US and India. 2002-12-01T05:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/75812 18.152 Introduction to Partial Differential Equations, Fall 2004 Staffilani, Gigliola; Vasy, Andras This course analyzes initial and boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations and the wave and heat equation in one space dimension. It also covers the Sturm-Liouville theory and eigenfunction expansions, as well as the Dirichlet problem for Laplace's operator and potential theory. 2004-12-01T05:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/75811 11.124 Introduction to Teaching and Learning Mathematics and Science, Fall 2004 Klopfer, Eric This course provides an introduction to teaching and learning in a variety of K-12 settings. Through visits to schools, classroom discussions, selected readings, and hands-on activities, we explore the challenges and opportunities of teaching. Topics of study include educational technology, design and experimentation, student learning, and careers in education. 2004-12-01T05:00:00Z
