Teaching
Below is a list of classes taught by Jordan Kyriakidis. Courses being taught in the current academic year are hyperlinked to the class homepage. (If they're not, complain!)
Phyc 1300 -- Physics in and around you
Winter semester. Introductory, algebra-based physics class primarily intended for students majoring in the Health-Sciences.
Phyc 2140 -- Physics Tools: Theory
Fall semester. Required class for all physics students. This class is basically mathematical boot camp.
Phyc 3640 -- Quantum Physics I
Fall semester. Required class for Physics Honours students. This class is a modern introduction to quantum physics. The approach is non-traditional, abstract, and algebraic, leaning more towards Heisenberg that Schroedinger.
Phyc 4151 -- Quantum Physics II
Fall semester. Required class for Physics Honours students. This class is a modern introduction to quantum physics and continues beyond Phyc 3640. The approach is similar to Phyc 3640, but the pace is faster and covers more (and more interesting!) topics.
Phyc 3250 -- Computational Methods in Physics
Winter semester. A class intended to show students how to use a UNIX workstation to solve problems in Physics where an analytical (paper and pencil) solution is not possible. The Linux operating system will be introduced and used throughout the class, as will the C++ programing language (maybe Python will be used instead).
Phyc 4170 -- Topics in Mathematical Physics
Winter semester. A class primarily of interest (probably) to theoretically-minded Physics and Chemistry students, and physically-minded Mathematics students. Topics in the past have focussed on functional integrals (eg, Feynmann path integrals) and General Relativity. Cross-listings: Phyc 5170, MATH 4175
Topics in Theoretical Physics
Winter Semester. Graduate-level class for topics in, er, Theoretical Physics. Past topics: Quantum Dots, Many-Body Quantum Theory.
