S-Graduate STEM Education Sem
Talks and discussions of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education issues featuring lectures by on-campus and off-campus presenters.
General Relativity II
The class will explore advanced topics in general relativity, picking up where P568/821 left off. Topics in black hole physics will include BH solutions with rotation and in the presence of a non-zero cosmological constant; BH thermodynamics and Hawking radiation. We will discuss interior solutions to Einstein's equations for stars and neutron stars. The physics of gravitational radiation will be presented in more depth, including the derivation of the quadrupole formula for power radiated by a source.

Monte Carlo Methods
Systematic introduction to one of the most powerful and versatile simulation techniques for large complex systems. The course starts with a short introduction to probability theory and random number generators, followed by the general theory of stochastic sampling techniques and data analysis for classical statistical models (including state-of-the-art schemes) and kinetic equations. The course concludes with the discussion of quantum Monte Carlo methods.
