Teaching at LaGuardia Community College

• College Physics I (SCP231): Syllabus, Calendar, F2021 zoom lecture notes


• College Physics II (SCP 232): Syllabus, Calendar, S2021 zoom lecture notes


• Fundamentals of Physics I (SCP201): Syllabus

• Some of the research projects from my Honors Physics classes:
  • Computer Simulation of Physical Systems, SCP232 Spring'20: play it!
  • "Atomic Nuclei and Pairing Correlations", SCP231 Fall'18 (pdf)
  • "Avalanche Model", SCP231 Fall'18 (pdf)
  • "Beta Equilibrium in Neutron Stars", SCP231 Fall'18 (pdf)
  • "Correction to the Earth’s orbit due to the Sun-Earth-Moon interaction", SCP231 Fall'18 (pdf)
  • "Dark matter in our Solar System", SCP231 Fall'17 (pdf)
  • "Average Size of a Hydrogen Atom", SCP231 Fall'17 (pdf)
  • "The Yarkovsky effect", SCP231 Fall'17 (pdf)
  • "Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation", SCP231 Fall'17 (pdf)


• The Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and Modern Physics. I usually give about 10 free lectures every Spring semsetr on topics of special relativity and quantum mechanics. By attending these lectures students learn the basic ideas behind so called Modern Physics, which revolutionized the way people thought of space, time, matter, and energy. Students also learn about the experiments that led to the development of Modern Physics.


• College Now. I teach physics to high school students through the College Now program at LaGuardia.
