Alexander Mathematics & Physics Tutoring

This is the remains of a supernova, or a star that reached the end of its life and exploded. A star is a balance between two forces, the force of nuclear fusion in the core pushing outward, and gravity pushing inward. When these forces are balanced, you have yourself a star. Hydrogen gas is compressed under its own weight in the core of the star to extreme pressure. The molecules are moving so fast under this pressure that they collide and “fuse” to create a hydrogen bomb. It’s really hard to get protons to fuse because they have positive charge and repel. The only way you can overcome this force of repulsion is to expose them to extreme pressure, which heats them up, and heat is really just code for molecules moving really fast. If the protons move fast enough they can overwhelm the repulsive force and collide. Boom. You have yourself a nuclear explosion pushing outward. You expand until the force of gravity inward is equal to the explosive force outward. Hydrogen gas (with one proton in the nucleus) falls at a controlled rate into the core of the star where the pressure is high enough to ignite fusion, resulting in helium (two protons in the nucleus). So what happens when you run out of hydrogen? Explosive force outward goes bye bye, gravity is still there, so you collapse. That is until the pressure gets even higher than before, at which point it’s hot enough to fuse 3 helium atoms (two protons each) to get Carbon (6 protons), and the nuclear fire continues even hotter. This is where elements come from. You’re mostly made out of Carbon so you can thank stellar evolution for that. This process of running out of fuel, then burning the next element continues until you get iron (if you’re a big enough star), which is the end of the road for the star. So how do we get all the elements heavier than iron? Supernova, which is what you’re looking at. Once all the fuel is burned, the force of gravity implodes the star with such force that the remaining elements fuse together to get the heavier elements in one spectacular explosion. #physics #math #astrophysics #learnaboutphysics #physicstutor #physicsmemes #astrophotography

What are we made of? What are the fundamental building blocks from which you, me, the stars and everything is constructed? Check out this awesome video with David Tong - a theoretical physicist at the University of Cambridge about the Standard Model of Particle Physics - incidentally, the most successful scientific theory of all time. It gives the correct answer to hundreds of thousands of experiments with an accuracy that is unprecedented in science. Take a look! https://lnkd.in/gDkA_DfE

She's Baaacckk! Angelique Alexander is the superstar of our Math Tutoring program. You can't possibly understand how OBSESSED her students are with Angelique. Angelique took a break from tutoring because she's running our non-profit tutoring program Andromeda Education. She's also an Opera Singer. She's only taking on a few students, leave a comment to claim a complimentary trial lesson.

Meet Gerald, the James Bond of Math Tutoring. He's got his degree in math from Berkeley and an M.S. in pure math from SF State, but what's really important is his ability to connect and give you a positive math experience. Gerald just celebrated his 4th year with Alexander Math & Physics Tutoring. Respond in the comments with your contact info to score a Complimentary Lesson with Master Educator Gerald Morgan.

Meet Sam, our elementary school specialist at Alexander Math & Physics Tutoring. "Alexander Tutoring has made a huge improvement in my 10-year old daughter's attitude toward math over the past school year. Our instructor, Sam, has a gift for explaining math concepts in a way she could understand and relate to. He could read her mood and adapt the session in response. Over time she went from not particularly wanting to participate to actively looking forward to the lesson. I saw great strides in her math confidence and ability, and look forward to resuming the tutoring in the upcoming school year." https://zurl.co/b2j9 415-855-5132 www.alexandertutoring.com

Alexander Tutoring's proven method of identifying what a student is passionate about, and then showing how it relates to mathematics and physics has turned the narrative about math upside down. Watch this video to see how we do it. https://zurl.co/u7nv www.alexandertutoring.com
