The [course_title] course is the second part of the trimester sequence course about Quantum theory. The first part deals with the fundamental concepts of quantum theory. In this second part, you will learn Symmetries, Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, Non-Abelian Generalizations: Yang-Mills Theory, The Gauge Principles, Quantization of Non-Abelian Gauge Theories, renormalisations, eneral renormalisation theory, renormalisation group, and more. The course prepares you for the advanced concepts of Quantum theory.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer need to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
Certification
Edukite courses are free to study. To successfully complete a course you must submit all the assignment of the course as part of assessment. Upon successful completion of a course, you can choose to make your achievement formal by obtaining your Certificate at a cost of £49.
Having an Official Edukite Certification is a great way to celebrate and share your success. You can:
- Add the certificate to your CV or resume and brighten up your career
