Mind and Hand is designed for students who do not intend to
major in physics but who have a strong interest in learning
what it is that physicists actually do. The lecture portion
of the course will be devoted to discussing the intellectual
strands that make up the tapestry of modern physics, and the
laboratory will be used to practice the various skills
needed to build an actual experiment. The course will
culminate in the construction of a particle beam and the
acquisition of data using particle detectors and a computer.
No mathematical preparation beyond algebra and trigonometry
is expected.
MAJOR READINGS
To be announced.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
