Strongly recommended for all students, but especially for those contemplating graduate school: Physics 322, 351, 442. The physics department’s web page is at /physics. Individual or group seminar courses in more specialized topics can usually be arranged at the student’s request. Optional courses include optics, thermal physics, solid-state physics, astrophysics, elementary particles, scientific computation, and general relativity, as well as advanced classical mechanics and advanced quantum mechanics. Juniors ordinarily take Classical Mechanics I (311), Quantum Mechanics I (342), Electrodynamics (321 and 322), and Advanced Laboratory (331 and 332) these courses provide a thorough background for a wide range of possible thesis projects in the senior year.
The typical physics major takes Physics 101 and 102 in the first year and Physics 201 and 202 as a sophomore these courses survey the field from a broad perspective and lay the groundwork for more concentrated study in the last two years. The physics curriculum at Reed College is designed to provide rigorous preparation for those who plan careers in the field while at the same time serving the needs of interested liberal arts students. It has inspired the creative work of mathematicians, philosophers, and social scientists and has repeatedly transformed the framework of civilization. Physics is the most mature of the sciences and provides much of the conceptual apparatus and instrumentation for chemistry, biology, astronomy, and engineering.
