COURSE DESCRIPTION: | A course on a topic of figure of special interest to a
member of the biology faculty and offered on a non-recurring basis.
Prerequisites: some topics may have more specific pre-requisites 2016/17 Winter The following course proposal has arisen from a long-standing role that the Physics program at King’s has played with the Music program in delivering a series of lectures (usually in the fall term) on the physics of music. These lectures are always well received and usually met with a genuine interest (on the part of music students) to explore these ideas further – hence rationale for a course devoted to this topic. At the same time, music is a universal part of the human experience and certainly a topic that will be of interest to physics students. This course is intended to encourage a mutually enriching conversation between the musicians and physicists! Pre/co-requisite Courses: one of Phys 241,243 , Musi 200 |
