The course focuses on the backward design and evaluation of teaching units in physics at Gymnasium level.

These lectures aim at giving graduate students an introduction to and a working knowledge of path integral methods in a wide variety of fields in physics. Consequently, the lectures are organized in three main parts dealing with non-relativistic quantum mechanics, many-body physics and field theory. Numerous examples and applications are given.

After a short introduction to the theoretical foundations and experimental tests of the standard model, grand unified theories, supersymmetry, leptoquarks, and hidden valley models will be treated among other topics. Thereby the phenomenological aspects, i.e. the search for new particles and interactions at existing and future particle accelerators will play a significant role.

Close reading of and reflection about selected texts from physicists (e.g. C.F: Weizsäcker, Wilczek, Susskind) on the philosophical problems and consequences of their work.

Discussion of recent publications in philosophy of physics.

This course gives an overview of important concepts in classical dynamics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, quantum physics, atomic physics, and special relativity. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating key phenomena using experiments, and in developing skills for quantitative problem solving.

Basic topics in classical as well as modern physics, interplay between basic research and applications.

Research colloquium

Fachdidaktische Grundlagen des Unterrichtens im Fach Physik auf der Basis von empirischer Lehr-Lernforschung und Best practice: Unterrichtsplanung, Lektionsgestaltung, Unterrichtsmethoden, Medieneinsatz, Experimente, Leistungsbeurteilung, Unterrichtsevaluation.

Introduction to the concepts and tools in physics: mechanics of point-like and rigid bodies, elasticity theory, elements of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics, periodic motion and mechanical waves.

The lecture covers the basics of classical mechanics.

Introduction to the concepts and tools of physics with the aid of demonstration experiments: mechanics and oscillations

This course is an introduction to classical physics, with special focus on applications in medicine.

This course gives a first introduction to Physics with an emphasis on classical mechanics.

This is a one-semester course introducing students into the foundations of Modern Physics. Topics include electricity and magnetism, light, oscillations and waves with Doppler effect. Selected topics with important applications in industry will also be considered.

This course will cover the basic topics in Physics and will show/display/explain with a variety of experiments the most important physical effects. The course will address classical as well as modern physics, and the interplay between basic research and applications.

This course gives a first introduction to Physics. The emphasis is on classical mechanics, up to Newton's theory of gravitation, as well as oscillations. In addition there will be an introduction to thermodynamics.

This course gives a first introduction to Physics. During the Winter term (Physics I) emphasis is given to classical mechanics, up to Newtons' theory of gravitation, with a short introduction to Special Relativity. During the Summer term (Physics II) topics such as oscillations, waves and Thermodynamics are discussed.
