Introduction to Modern Physics

This course is a continuation of the General Physics sequence. Students will be introduced to the two main paradigms of 20th century (modern) physics, Einstein's theory of relativity and quantum physics. The course will explore the limitations of classical physics within the framework of the scientific method and trace the development of modern physics. In the laboratory part of the course students will perform simulations that demonstrate the properties of modern physics.
