Course Project

The Course Project is due in lecture 25 (the last day of class). The project must be typeset in LaTeX and a hard copy must be turned in at the end of the lecture (LaTeX files and eps files must be e-mailed to the Professor and the TA).

The projects consist of solving and producing well-written, crisp solutions (with figures, if appropriate), for all the relevant Quick Calculations and end-of-chapter problems.

Here are the choices of projects:

• Branes and the Standard Model
  Section 14.5 (Quick Calculations and problem 14.10)
  Sections 15.5 - End of chapter (Quick Calculations and problems 15.8, 15.9, and 15.10)
  
  
• String Thermodynamics and Black Holes
  Chapter 16: All Quick Calculations and all problems
  
  
• Covariant String Quantization
  Chapter 21: All Quick Calculations and all problems
  
  
• String Interactions and Riemann Surfaces
  Chapter 22: All Quick Calculations and all problems
