Introduction to Ionizing Radiation: Course Description
Radiation history, binding energy, radiological dating, cell survival curves and medical imaging are just a few of the topics covered in MIT's introductory course, 'Introduction to Ionizing Radiation.' Lecture notes, originally presented by Professor Jeffrey Coderre, explore the physical, chemical, biological and epidemiological aspects of ionizing radiation. A list of readings, mostly from the textbook, Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection, by J.E. Turner, enhance the students' understanding of the subject. A series of problem sets are each designed to show students the real-world applications of the theoretical material covered in each lecture. The course is an undergraduate-level course appropriate for students earning bachelor's degrees in Nuclear Science and Engineering.
The OpenCourseWare includes lecture notes, seven problems sets with solutions and three quizzes. For further information and to download course materials, visit the ionizing radiation course web page.
