ECON 1011a:

Economics 1011a. Microeconomic Theory

Catalog Number: 7230
Edward L. Glaeser
Half course (fall term). Tu., Th., 11:30-1, and a one-hour weekly section to be arranged.. EXAM GROUP: 13, 14
Economics 1011a is similar to Economics 1010a, but uses more mathematics and covers more material. The course aims to teach the basic tools of economics and to apply them to a wide range of human behavior. Tools include consumer theory, optimization under uncertainty, game theory, welfare economics, incentive theory, and the economics of information. Topics include industrial organization, public finance, law and economics, the economics of the family, religion, and riots.
Note: Economics 1011a fulfills the intermediate microeconomic theory requirement for economics concentrators. Students may take \beither\n Economics 1010a \bor\n Economics 1011a for credit. This course, when taken for a letter grade, meets the Core area requirement for Social Analysis.
Prerequisite: Social Analysis 10 and Mathematics 20 or 21a, or permission of the instructor.
CUE Overall Result: 4.2 (Fall)
HIS-STD A-16:
Historical Study A-16. The Making of Modern South Asia

Catalog Number: 9058
Sugata Bose and Amartya Sen
Half course (fall term). M., W., (F.), at 10, and a weekly section to be arranged.. EXAM GROUP: 3
This course provides the historical depth and the comparative context in which to understand contemporary South Asia through an historical inquiry into the making and multiple meanings of modernity. It explores the history, culture, and political economy of the subcontinent which provides a fascinating laboratory to study such themes as colonialism, nationalism, partition, the modern state, economic development, refashioning of religious identities, center-region problems and relations between Asia and the West. Significant use of primary written sources (in English) and multi-media presentations.
Note: For students under the Core requirement, counts as either Historical Study A or Foreign Cultures, but not both.
CUE Overall Result: 4.0 (Fall)
PHYSICS 15c:
Physics 15c. Wave Phenomena

Catalog Number: 8676
Nima Arkani-Hamed (fall term) and Christopher Stubbs (spring term)
Half course (fall term; repeated spring term). Tu., Th., 1-2:30, and three hours per week of conference and laboratory.. EXAM GROUP: 15, 16, 15, 16
Forced oscillation and resonance; coupled oscillators and normal modes; Fourier series; Electromagnetic waves, radiation, longitudinal oscillations, sound; traveling waves; signals, wave packets and group velocity; two- and three-dimensional waves; polarization; geometrical and physical optics; interference and diffraction. Optional topics: Water waves, holography, x-ray crystallography. Solitons.
Note: Laboratory: Continuation of ^'^'zap'' plus additional labs. Laboratories will be under the supervision of Thomas C. Hayes. This course, when taken for a letter grade, meets the Core area requirement for Science A.
Prerequisite: Physics 15b and mathematics preparation at the level of Mathematics 21b taken concurrently. Some prior knowledge of complex numbers (for example as taught in Mathematics 1b) is helpful. Multivariable calculus is used in the treatment of the wave equation, but plays a much less central role than in Physics 15b.
CUE Overall Result: 4.0 (Fall), 4.2 (Spring)
PHYSICS 143b:
Physics 143b. Quantum Mechanics II

Catalog Number: 0253
John M. Doyle
Half course (fall term). Tu., Th., 10-11:30. EXAM GROUP: 12, 13
Further techniques and applications of quantum mechanics, including quantum statistics, Bose-Einstein condensation, advanced topics in angular momentum: rotations, tensor operators and the Wigner-Eckart theorem, variational methods, time-dependent perturbation theory, nuclear magnetic resonance, emission and absorption of radiation, quantization of the radiation field, Casimir effect, aidiabatic approximation, geometrical phases, Aharonov-Bohm effect, collision theory, measurement theory, Bell's inequality, and an introduction to quantum computing.
Prerequisite: Physics 143a.
CUE Overall Result: 3.8 (Fall)
