和Advisor盧了兩個小時以上,他總算准我選第六門課。他要我兩星期以後再去談一次,說到時要Drop掉一門課。我打算到時候說很輕鬆之類的。


 

7.012 Introductory Biology

All three subjects cover the same core material, which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. In addition, each version of the subject has its own distinctive material, described below. The core material focuses on function at a molecular level: the structure and regulation of genes, and the structure and synthesis of proteins; how these molecules are integrated into cells; how cells are integrated into multicellular systems and organisms; and computational and genomic approaches to biology. 7.012 and 7.013 are similar, as both emphasize current issues in human biology. 7.012 focuses slightly more on genetic approaches, 7.013 on development and neurobiology. Fall Term: 7.012. Exploration into areas of current research in cell biology, immunology, neurobiology, human genetics, developmental biology, and evolution.
E. Lander, R. Weinberg

8.04 Quantum Physics I

Experimental basis of quantum physics: photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, photons, Franck-Hertz experiment, the Bohr atom, electron diffraction, deBroglie waves, and wave-particle duality of matter and light. Introduction to wave mechanics: Schroedinger's equation, wave functions, wave packets, probability amplitudes, stationary states, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and zero-point energies. Solutions to Schroedinger's equation in one dimension: transmission and reflection at a barrier, barrier penetration, potential wells, the simple harmonic oscillator. Schroedinger's equation in three dimensions: central potentials and introduction to hydrogenic systems.
P. Jarillo-Herrero

8.05 Quantum Physics II

Together 8.05 and 8.06 cover quantum physics with applications drawn from modern physics. General formalism of quantum mechanics: states, operators, Dirac notation, representations, measurement theory. Harmonic oscillator: operator algebra, states. Quantum mechanics in three-dimensions: central potentials and the radial equation, bound and scattering states, qualitative analysis of wavefunctions. Angular momentum: operators, commutator algebra, eigenvalues and eigenstates, spherical harmonics. Spin: Stern-Gerlach devices and measurements, nuclear magnetic resonance, spin and statistics. Addition of angular momentum: Clebsch-Gordan series and coefficients, spin systems, and allotropic forms of hydrogen.
B. Zwiebach

18.305 Advanced Analytic Methods in Science and Engineering

A comprehensive treatment of the advanced methods of applied mathematics. Designed to strengthen the mathematical abilities of graduate students and train them to think on their own. Expansion around singular points: special functions; the WKB method on ordinary and partial differential equations; the method of stationary phase and the saddle point method; the two-scale method and the method of renormalized perturbation; singular perturbation and boundary-layer techniques.
H. Cheng

21F.222 Expository Writing for Bilingual Students

Formulating, organizing, and presenting ideas clearly in writing. Reviews basic principles of rhetoric. Focuses on development of a topic, thesis, choice of appropriate vocabulary, and sentence structure to achieve purpose. Develops idiomatic prose style. Gives attention to grammar and vocabulary usage. Special focus on strengthening skills of bilingual students. Undergraduates only. Enrollment limited.
A. C. Kemp

21F.501 Japanese I

Introduction to modern standard Japanese. Emphasis on developing proficiency in speaking and listening, using basic grammar and vocabulary. Basic skills in reading and writing are also taught. Lab work required. For graduate credit see 21F.551.
Y. Nagaya
