Short, intensive physics/math courses

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the identification of short, intensive physics and math courses offered globally, with a primary focus on the U.S. Participants are seeking courses that are typically 1-3 weeks long, highly focused on specific topics, and aimed at high undergraduate or low graduate levels. The inquiry emphasizes in-person courses related to physics or engineering.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Eric initiates the discussion by requesting a list of short, intensive physics and math courses, specifying a preference for in-person offerings.
  • One participant suggests a website for short online math courses, which does not align with Eric's request for in-person courses.
  • Eric clarifies that he is specifically looking for in-person courses taught at universities or by private companies, providing an example of the U.S. Particle Accelerator School.
  • Another participant shares a resource from the Perimeter Institute, noting that it includes graduate-level seminars and lectures, some of which may be suitable for new students preparing for qualification exams.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on specific courses, and multiple suggestions have been made without agreement on their suitability.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks detailed criteria for evaluating the intensity and relevance of the courses mentioned, and there are no specific course names provided beyond examples.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in short, intensive physics and math courses, particularly those seeking in-person educational opportunities in the U.S. or globally.

Hello,

I'd like to create a list of short, intensive physics and/or math courses offered around the world. I'm primarily focuses on the U.S. as that is where I live but for the sake of completeness, anywhere would be good. The courses I'm looking should be short, usually 1-3 weeks in length and highly focused on a specific topic (and very intense). The level should be high undergraduate in physics or low graduate. Any math courses should be somehow related to physics or engineering. Please provide at least the name of the course, a URL would be very helpful.

Thank you very much for your time.

Eric

Thank you jedishrfu. I apologize for being a little unclear.

The courses I'm looking for should be in-person, taught at either Universities or by private companies. An example would be USPAS (U.S. Particle Accelerator School) @ http://uspas.fnal.gov/.

Thank you,
Eric
 
This is from Perimeter Institute: http://pirsa.org/search

You can achieve lots of seminars and lectures,most of them are graduate level. But there are the ones, you can find them easily, which are for the new students that will enter some kind of a qualification exam there. They are highly intense as you seek.

Hope to enjoy.
