Extractions: Home ... Programs Physics and Astronomy The tutorial programs in the Physics and Astronomy Department offer unique opportunities for exceptional students. Majors engage in an in-depth study of physics and related fields, while broadening their knowledge in subjects suiting their individual interests. Graduates of the program may go on to jobs in a variety of scientific and technical fields, or choose to pursue graduate study and careers in research. At the heart of the program is the tutorial, in which the student studies selected material in a given subject area under the guidance of a faculty member acting as tutor. At individual weekly meetings, typically lasting about 90 minutes, the student and tutor discuss the weekly reading, solutions to problems, and other assignments. Tutorials continue through all four years of the program. Students typically spend one-quarter to one-third of their total time (and academic credit) in tutorials, the rest being in laboratories or in other required or elective classes. Because the Honors Tutorial College has no specific general education (or "distribution") requirements, students are free to create unique courses of study in subjects outside their major fields according to personal taste. Physics and astronomy students frequently take courses in chemistry, biology, and computer science; but interest in areas much further afield, such as music, language, or history, is also very much encouraged.

For as long as the world has had physicists inquiring into the laws of nature, it has suffered a special ignorance about disorder in the atmosphere, in the fluctuations of the wildlife populations, in the oscillations of the heart and the brain. The irregular side of nature, the discontinuous and erratic side these have been puzzles to science, or worse, monstrosities."

Extractions: Professor David Broomhead, Professor of Mathematics at UMIST. Expertise: nonlinear dynamics and signal processing. He was the first to introduce the idea of radial basis functions as an alternative to neural networks and, while working at RSRE Malvern, showed how these could be implemented in adaptive digital signal processing architectures. Recently, he has shown how these techniques can be used for data compression. Expertise: pattern formation and the general behaviour of many body systems far from equilibrium, nonlinear waves and solitons, turbulence and nonlinear optics, in which areas he has written 2 books and over 150 research and review articles. He also has a general interest in the dynamics of complex systems.

Extractions: A s most of our members are now well aware, the APS will celebrate a century of physics accomplishments March 21 through March 26, 1999, in Atlanta, GA. The expanded technical meeting and exhibit program has been augmented with numerous special events and outreach activities. To help attendees navigate their way around the Centennial meeting, we offer the following guide to special Centennial events. In addition to a Nobel laureate luncheon and exhibit opening involving teachers, students and Nobel Prize winners Saturday, there is an honorary international banquet on Saturday night, and a special gala buffet dinner at the Fernbank Museum on Sunday night. The cornerstone of the week's festivities is the Physics Festival in Atlanta: Mastering the Mysteries of the Universe. A series of popular physics talks will be offered, including a talk on Wednesday night by Stephen Hawking. Physics demonstrations will be offered throughout the week, along with special museum exhibits. Finally, local universities will host special on campus topical lectures and conferences just prior to the meeting.

Extractions: professor of physics Figure 1. The effect of geometry on the standing wave patterns in a microwave cavity is shown. The wave pattern is very regular in a rectangular cavity (bottom), appears random or disordered in a chaotic geometry (middle), and is localized in a disordered geometry (top). Srinivas Sridhar, professor of physics, in his lab in the Egan Center. Waves of Chaos Srinivas Sridhar Billiard tables, vibrating drums, microwaves in cavities, and quantum mechanics: these seemingly unconnected things come together in the research on quantum chaos that my students and I carry out. Both quantum mechanics and chaos defy our common sense and intuition. In chaos, a particle seemingly disobeys the commonly observed repeatability to which we are accustomed. In quantum mechanics, a particle does not even behave like a particle; instead it acquires the characteristics of a wave. This latter notion has occupied some of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century and still offers many fascinating puzzles. The interface between quantum and classical properties is a key area of modern research in physics. How does this manifest itself in the tiny world of electrons and other quantum particles? Are the properties of an electron different between a regular and a Sinai billiard table of tiny, atomic dimensions? In other words, does classical chaos affect quantum mechanics? One of the first scientists to raise this issue was Einstein, although it took another half a century before further answers emerged.
