fyi ---------- Forwarded message ---------- ------------------------------ *From:* David A.B Miller [dabm@stanford.edu] *Sent:* Sunday, September 21, 2014 2:11 AM *To:* David Miller *Subject:* Open online Quantum Mechanics course I am just about to start an open on-line course on *Quantum Mechanics for Scientists and Engineers * This course aims to teach quantum mechanics to anyone with a reasonable college- or university-level understanding of physical science or engineering. This course is a substantial introduction to quantum mechanics and how to use it. It is specifically designed to be accessible not only to physicists but also to students and technical professionals over a wide range of science and engineering backgrounds. So, if any of your students has for any reason missed the opportunity to learn quantum mechanics in your university or elsewhere, or is looking for perhaps a refresher course or a course that offers them a second pass at the subject, or simply needs an accessible introduction to quantum mechanics for any other reason, please do pass this on to them. The course is free and comes with no obligations or requirements. The class goes live on Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Registration is open now through the link http://quantum.class.stanford.edu I am also intending to offer a second, follow-on course in early 2015. That course will cover some additional basic topics and will introduce the quantum mechanics of crystalline materials, light, and quantum information. Taken together, these classes should prepare the student for quantum mechanics as it is used in a broad range of subjects and applications. More information will be available on this second class later. Please feel free to forward this information to students or any others who might find this useful.
