We know the fundamental equations governing the motion of every atom in our brain and every electron in our computers, yet the natural world continues to surprise us with emergent phenomena. Explore the largest subdiscipline of modern physics, condensed matter physics, to understand complex systems using simple but powerful conceptual tools. This specialization introduces key concepts such as phases of matter, symmetry, topology, and renormalization. Prior physics knowledge is not required.
