Nearly nine out of ten campuses offering physics courses offer an algebra- and trigonometry-based course; nonetheless, this ...
I voted for the calc based physics. While its been awhile, I don't recall the calculus they put you through in physics 101 being all that intense. And I also recall having it fairly well spelled out, ...
Math, specifically calculus, is a barrier to many natural sciences, technology and engineering fields. Physics, which is math-heavy, often proves similarly challenging to students who wish to pursue ...
New research shows that traditional physics labs, which strive to reinforce the concepts students learn in lecture courses, can actually have a negative impact on students. At the same time, ...
A study has found that students are more engaged in laboratory courses that are designed to emphasize and teach experimentation skills (Courtesy:iStock/AlexPotemkin ...
The American Physics Society named Burcin Bayram, associate professor of physics, Woman Physicist of the Month. The association’s committee on the status of women in physics selected Bayram based on ...
(Link) The under representation and under performance of females in physics has been well documented and has long concerned policy-makers, educators, and the physics community. In this thesis, we ...
