Lecture is a conversation. It is boring otherwise. I encourage all students to be active, ask questions and argue. I want to learn and I love to learn new things. My experience tells me that I learn the best when challenged to answer questions.

This class covers a wide range of topics: Classical physics, Relativity, Quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and nuclear and sub-nuclear structures. I will make the main emphasis on the unusual, counterintuitive, "cool" effects and concepts.
