You may be expected to do significant homework assignments and problem solving. An understanding of the concepts of elementary calculus, differential equations
and Newtonian mechanics is required.
You should review calculus and in particular solutions of differential equations. The necessary differential equations and Newtonian/wave mechanics are explained
as needed.
Important announcements will be posted to the Announcements section of this web page, so please check this page frequently. You are responsible for all such
announcements, as well as announcements made in lecture.
MSE228 is intended to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to the standard concepts in modern physics. This course is an introduction to quantum mechanics.
Topics include particle nature of light and wave nature of matter, introductory quantum theory of atoms and introductory quantum mechanics, special theory of relativity.
Upon completion of this course the students will be able to understand/explain/apply;
Failure of Newtonian mechanics. Transition from classical to quantum physics.
Why relativity and quantum mechanics and are need to explain natural phenomena.
Blackbody radiation, photoelectric effect, wave-particle duality of matter and light.
Bohr/Rutherford theory of the atom.
Schrödinger's equation, wave functions. Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
Solutions to Schrödinger's equation in one dimension.
Introduction to fundamental structure of matter.
From electronic structure of atoms to solid state physics.
Lecture material will be based on them. It is strongly advised that student should read textbooks rather than only content with the lecture material supplied from the lecturer.

Midterms & Final Exams: There will be one midterm and one final exam, will count 30% each and 40% of your grade, respectively.
Homeworks/Assignments (or Term Project): 15%.
Quiz: %15
Attendance is required for the students’ success and constitutes part of your course grade as bonus; 5%.
Attendance is not compulsory (30%), but you are responsible for everything said in class.
(Derslere devam zorunluluğu ve denetlenmesi
MADDE 18 - (1) Öğrencilerin derslere, uygulamalara, sınavlara ve diğer çalışmalara devamı zorunludur. Teorik derslerin % 30’undan,
uygulamaların % 20’sinden fazlasına devam etmeyen ve uygulamalarda başarılı olamayan öğrenci, o dersin yarıyıl/yılsonu ya da
varsa bütünleme sınavına alınmaz. Tekrarlanan derslerde önceki dönemde devam şartı yerine getirilmiş ise derslerde devam şartı
aranıp aranmayacağı ilgili birim tarafından hazırlanarak Senato onayına sunulan usul ve esaslar ile belirlenir.)
The quiz will be open-book and open-notes and conducted after the completion of each chapter.
Late homework will be accepted with a penalty of 10% per week after due date.
You are allowed to work in groups of two students on the homework unless otherwise mentioned.
You can use ideas from the literature (with proper citation).
You can use anything from the textbook/notes.
At the end of the semester, your lowest homework, quiz score will be dropped.
Exams: 1 page of notes (double sides) is allowed.
I encourage you to ask questions in class. You are supposed to ask questions. Don't guess, ask a question!
The following schedule is tentative; it may be updated later in the semester, so check back here frequently.
