Specific subfields of twentieth-century physics are covered in depth in this course. Among the possible topics are elementary particles, nuclei, atoms, molecules, condensed states of matter, superconductivity, astrophysics, and cosmology. Current research advances are included where possible. The topic in spring 2001 will be Nuclear and Particle Physics.
