The University is noted for its studies of luminescence and lumin- 
escent materials. Recently, an electroluminescence laboratory was established 
to study this phenomenon together with photoluminescent and semiconductor 
phenomena in phosphorus. Other fields of inquiry include absorbing optical 
coatings, thin metallic films, focusing of a cyclotron, theories of liquids, 
quantum theory of fields, amplifiers, oscillations in accelerators, theory of 
gravitation, and relativity. A device was developed by University workers 
for measuring and recording electrical conductivity and impedance of elec- 
trolytic solutions and semiconductors. The University is currently working 
on means for automatic observation of artificial earth satellites. 
In chemistry, workers have studied the corrosion of reinforcing 
construction rods, acidic catalysis, acid hydrolysis of ethyl acetate, and 
chlorosulfonation of aromatic compounds. 
Mathematicians have studied applications of mathematical methods in 
machine shops, summability of a double series, theory of diverging series, 
and calculation of dielectric coatings. The University has a computing 
center. 
The University offers courses in Estonian language and literature, 
Russian language and literature, English language and literature, juris- 
prudence, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, geology, 
finance and credit, accounting, trade economics, and medicine.
