124	PHYS 107 Materials Science
125	PHYS 108 Programming for Science & Engineering  Fall This course is a comprehensive introduction to programming using MatLab, the primary language of engineering computations. It covers control constructs, internal and external procedures, array manipulations, user-defined data structures, and recursion. These elements are used to develop some computational techniques in engineering. No prior computer experience is required.
126	PHYS 114 Quantum Mechanics   [Not from catalog:] In this course, you will learn quantum mechanics as expressed in the language of states and operators. This formalism is particularly convenient when discussing particles' intrinsic spin, but also makes contact with the wave mechanics that you have seen in earlier courses. Along the way, we will discuss a variety of interesting physical systems and gain insight into the fundamental structure of physical laws. When appropriate, class examples and homework will make use of computational or numerical methods.
