Bethe Lecture Series

That Physics and related disciplines flourish today at Cornell is due in large measure to the vision and example of one man:  Hans Albrecht Bethe.  He has trained scores of young scientists who have gone on to make important contributions of their own and he wrote reviews of nuclear and atomic physics that became the bible of a generation of researchers.

Courses of Interest in Other Departments

Physics has close ties to a large number of other areas. Here is a partial list of some of the course offerings at Cornell which have overlap with physics. This list is by no means comprehensive. Not all courses are offered in all semesters. We highly recommend discussing course selection with your advisor.
