Classes

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.
