Physics and Astronomy for Elementary Teachers— Introduction to basic principles of physics and astronomy designed specifically for in-service elementary teachers. Prerequisite: Currently under teaching contract and recommendation of school supervisor. Summer (3) Staff 111, 112, 113. Analytical Mechanics—Particle motion, oscillating systems; planetary motion, stability of orbits; collisions ; Euler's equations, gyroscopic motion; Lagrange's equations, theory of vibrations; relativistic mechanics. A W S (3), (3), (3). Staff 121. Statistical Thermodynamics—Probability theory is used to introduce the concept of entropy. The development of thermodynamics proceeds from a statistical point of view. A (3). Staff 122. Kinetic Theory and Statistical Mechanics—Canonical distributions and partition functions are applied to situations of physical interest. Quantum and Classical statistics are compared and applied to such systems as the ideal gas, non-conducting and conducting solids, etc. Topics in transport theory are also included.
