18.325 Topics in Applied Mathematics: Mathematical Methods in Nanophotonics, Fall 2005

Title:	18.325 Topics in Applied Mathematics: Mathematical Methods in Nanophotonics, Fall 2005
Author:	Johnson, Steven G., 1973-
Issue Date:	2005-12
Abstract:	Topics vary from year to year. Topic for Fall: Eigenvalues of random matrices. How many are real? Why are the spacings so important? Subject covers the mathematics and applications in physics, engineering, computation, and computer science. From the course home page: Course Description This course covers algebraic approaches to electromagnetism and nano-photonics. Topics include photonic crystals, waveguides, perturbation theory, diffraction, computational methods, applications to integrated optical devices, and fiber-optic systems. Emphasis is placed on abstract algebraic approaches rather than detailed solutions of partial differential equations, the latter being done by computers.
