Bio

Dr. Fridman got her M.S. in Applied Mathematics and Physics at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with practical training in Plasma Physics at Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, and Ph.D. in Physics and Astronomy at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Her Ph. D. thesis was on dynamics and stability of elliptical galaxies.

Subsequently, Dr. Fridman worked on DNA structure (postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Biophysics at Rutgers University), mass spectrometry, and other projects at the Joint Institute for Computational Sciences, UT/ORNL and was an adjunct professor with Genome Science and Technology Graduate Program at the University of Tennessee.

In 2015 Dr. Fridman joined the Department of Mathematics of UTK to switch career to full time teaching, and since Fall of 2023, she is a visiting lecturer in Physics with RIT.

Currently Teaching

PHYS-211
University Physics I
4 Credits
This is a course in calculus-based physics for science and engineering majors. Topics include kinematics, planar motion, Newton's Laws, gravitation, work and energy, momentum and impulse, conservation laws, systems of particles, rotational motion, static equilibrium, mechanical oscillations and waves, and data presentation/analysis. The course is taught in a workshop format that integrates the material traditionally found in separate lecture and laboratory courses.
PHYS-211A
University Physics IA
4 Credits
This is a course in calculus-based physics for science and engineering majors whose performance on the Math Placement Exam resulted in their placement in MATH-181A. Topics include kinematics, planar motion, Newton’s Laws, gravitation, work and energy, momentum and impulse, conservation laws, systems of particles, rotational motion, static equilibrium, mechanical oscillations and waves, and data presentation/analysis. The course is taught in a workshop format that integrates the material traditionally found in separate lecture and laboratory courses.
