Second year at Auburn...

From Brian: Physics studies have been going strong through the Summer and now are broadening also. Last year I essentially did the 'year of mechanics': classical, quantum, and statistical (meaning thermodynamics). So since I did motion last year, mechanics being the study of motion, this year I am doing the other main area in physics, electrodynamics. Hopefully this will get me ready for the qualifying exam I will most likely take Fall 2007! That exam is the main factor in being able to earn the degree. So electrodynamics, some quantum review, another math course, and teaching second semester intro physics as a TA are what I am doing these days.
