Introduction into General Theory of Relativity
by Emil Akhmedov- 4.4
Approx. 29 hours to complete
General Theory of Relativity or the theory of relativistic gravitation is the one which describes black holes, gravitational waves and expanding Universe. The goal of the course is to introduce you into this theory. The introduction is based on the consideration of many practical generic examples in various scopes of the General Relativity....
Statistical Mechanics: Algorithms and Computations
by Werner Krauth- 4.8
Approx. 16 hours to complete
In this course you will learn a whole lot of modern physics (classical and quantum) from basic computer programs that you will download, generalize, or write from scratch, discuss, and then hand in. Join in if you are curious (but not necessarily knowledgeable) about algorithms, and about the deep insights into science that you can obtain by the algorithmic approach....
Imagining Other Earths
by David Spergel- 4.7
Approx. 26 hours to complete
Are we alone? This course introduces core concepts in astronomy, biology, and planetary science that enable the student to speculate scientifically about this profound question and invent their own solar systems. All the features of this course are available for free. It does not offer a certificate upon completion. Introduction Welcome...
Fundamentals of Modern Russian-designed NPPs with VVER-1200
by Vladimir Artisyuk , Denis Podolyakin- 4.9
Approx. 8 hours to complete
The goal of the course is to present the pressurized water reactor (VVER) technology and the modern design of the Russian Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) – Generation III+ NPP with VVER-1200 reactor.

Disaster Risk Management and Korean Policies
by Sohn, Hong-Gyoo- 4.6
Approx. 19 hours to complete
In the past, developing countries such as Korea lacked guidelines for exploring effective policies for disaster-resilient growth, resulting in unnecessary sacrifices in terms of time, resources, and human capital. Through the lessons learned by Korea, currently developing countries facing socio-economic development can build disaster resilience without sacrifices. Conceptual framework for disaster risk management...

Physics of silicon solar cells
by Pr. Bernard Drevillon , Erik Johnson- 4.2
Approx. 13 hours to complete
The first MOOC “Photovoltaic solar energy” is a general presentation of the solar photovoltaics technologies in the global energetic context, without extensive details. In particular the description of the solar cell operation is restricted to the ideal case In contrast this second MOOC allows a deep understanding of the properties of solar cells based on crystalline semiconductors....
How Do We Manage Climate Change?
by Joseph Casola- 0.0
Approx. 6 hours to complete
In this course, learners will identify the types of actions that we can pursue to address climate change. These actions fall into two broad categories: 1) mitigation, which refers to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or enhance carbon sinks, and 2) adaptation, which refers to our preparations for climate impacts....
Science Research Foundations
by Konyavskaya Svetlana Valeryevna- 0.0
Approx. 17 hours to complete
“Scientific Research Foundations” is now taught in many universities in a variety of specialties in almost any field of knowledge – almost to everyone who receives a higher education. There is also literature – focused on self-study or accompanying relevant courses. The “picture” is in the sense of Grenander’s pattern, not an image....
