I am very excited by our newly revised* Lafayette introductory physics curriculum. Check out Physics 130 — Relativity, Spacetime, and Contemporary Physics — the first course for prospective physics majors, and a great course for anyone to take. We start with relativity and particle physics! Pretty cool!
*First taught of 2014, so not so new any more. Still exciting and cool!
I am on sabbatical this year, so I am not teaching in Fall 2024 and Spring 2025.
