    Overview of the physics:

    Fall: Mechanics and Thermodynamics help us understand Stellar Structure and Evolution

    Winter: Electromagnetic Theory, Modern Physics, and Quantum Mechanics help us understand Stellar Structure and Dynamics

    Spring: We'll study Cosmologies (in conjunction with Astronomy), such as big bang theories, superstrings and D-branes, quantum loop gravity, as well as diverse cosmologies across cultures and throughout history. (Don Middendorf will teach special and general relativity in Energy Systems next year, so we won't do much of that this year.)
