Teaching
Courses
taught in fall 2004
General
Physics II (PHY2049)
- Syllabus
- Practice tests for PHY2048
and PHY2049
are given on the web site by Dr. Robin Jordan. Note that these tests do
not reflect the style of questions in the exams of PHY2048 or PHY2049.
They nevertheless represent a good source for practice, since they provide
immediate feedback on-line.
- Problem sheet: vector
algebra
- Download Simulations of Physics process here (as a ZIP file)
- Extra credit: deadline for submission
December 1st, 2004 (download guide lines and problem question here)
- Scanned questions and solutions to
practice test are here: (1a and 1b, 2a and 2b)
Stochastic
Processes (ISC6930)
Courses
taught (in general)
- Theoretical Neuroscience 1 and 2 (ISC6930)
- Stochastic Processes (ISC6930)
- Introduction to Nonlinear Dynamics and
Chaos (MAP6211)
- General Physics I (PHY2048) and General
Physics II (PHY2049)
For
new students: If you have difficulties to follow the class, get good grades or
just to adjust to academic life, here is a Study Guide.
This guide may address sometimes very obvious points, but often it is those
that a student new to academia does not recognize.
