3.063 Polymer Physics (MIT)
This course presents the mechanical, optical, and transport properties of polymers with respect to the underlying physics and physical chemistry of polymers in melt, solution, and solid state. Topics include conformation and molecular dimensions of polymer chains in solutions, melts, blends, and block copolymers; an examination of the structure of glassy, crystalline, and rubbery elastic states of polymers; thermodynamics of polymer solutions, blends, crystallization; liquid crystallinity, micro
Introduction to Modern Physics
The course covers principles and concepts of Special and General Relativity; origins of Quantum Mechanics; quantum structure of atoms, molecules, solids; applications to lasers and microelectronics; nuclear and particle physics; and cosmology.
6.977 Semiconductor Optoelectronics: Theory and Design (MIT)
6.977 focuses on the physics of the interaction of photons with semiconductor materials. The band theory of solids is used to calculate the absorption and gain of semiconductor media. The rate equation formalism is used to develop the concepts of laser threshold, population inversion and modulation response. Matrix methods and coupled mode theory are applied to resonator structures such as distributed feedback lasers, tunable lasers and microring devices. The course is also intended to introduce
Math Class: The Musical (A Musical Written and Produced by a Senior Math Class)
Words of the owner:
This is a short musical I wrote about my math class in the last week of school. The music is written and recorded by me, Leeran Z. Raphaely, with lyrics by myself and Matt Jensen. It was shot and co-edited by Michael Fishman. It stars Evan Sadler, Rachel Pedreira, Colin Ramsay, and other Schjelderup students.
The whole thing was filmed and edited in one day.

9.250 Evolutionary Psychology (MIT)
Current research on the evolution and development of cognition and affect, including intuitive physics, biology, and psychology, language, emotions, sexuality, and social relations.
Nicolaas Bloembergen, Nobel Laureate, Speaks with Jerome V. Moloney
Nicolaas Bloembergen earned the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physics with research that forever changed the fields of astronomy, medicine, and telecommunications. In this 2010 interview with University of Arizona professor of mathematics and optical sciences Jerome V. Moloney, Bloembergen reminisces on his discoveries in laser spectroscopy and nonlinear optics.
