This is a graduate level course in advanced atomic structure. The goal is to give the student an in-depth understanding of the field. The text is Introduction to the Structure of Matter by John J. Brehm and William J. Mullin.

Course work will consist of…

Exams

60%

Problem Sets

25%

Textbook Proofs

15%

The exams will be conducted on the following dates and will each cover a limited amount of course material, which at this point, must remain flexible.

September 28

November 2

December 12, 8:00 - 10:00 AM

The problems will be taken from the text. Complete, easily followed solutions are expected. Where graphical results are requested, students should use a good spreadsheet, MathCad, or Mathematica. Textbook proofs will be nearly daily assignments intended to help the student delve into the textbook by supplying the missing steps in the arguments.

Grades will be assigned based upon the normal scale:

A 90 - 100.

B 80 - 89.
