For people interested in the philosophy of science, or just science itself, it can be hard to differentiate between man-made mathematical models and actual reality. You can find physicists speak as if mathematical models were synonoumous with reality, but this really isn't the way it works. So anyway, it turns out that the model for quantum mechanics never actually explains how real physical results come out. It only says what's most likely to happen, because actually no one really knows how any of it actually works in real life. But undergraduate physics textbooks never frame the subject in this way and I think they should start doing that, to clear up confusion. This book is a good example of how to do that well. The book is a set of lecture notes from a professor of physics at Macquarie University written in 2009. Somtimes the best material comes from random sources. https://lnkd.in/gtXe4Un4 #philosophy #physics #education

“Modern research has shown us a different picture of learning. You’re developing and changing the brain. It’s about developing capabilities through practice, rather than filling [the brain] up with knowledge.” — Carl Wieman, 2020 Yidan Prize for Education Research Laureate Join Carl on TopClass, the OECD Education and Skills podcast, for a deep dive into science education. From addressing the “tyranny of content” to emphasizing teacher support and exercising the brain like a muscle, this episode explores the nuances of science teaching.

What better way to start 2024: teaching lectures at UiS Department of Mathematics and Physics Universitetet i Stavanger (UiS) on 2 amazing subjects: #electromagnetism ⚡️& special #relativity ⏲️. All aspects of life are in some form shaped by or related to those two #physics fields 😎. From microscopic to astrophysical scales & fundamental to applied.

Roman Gaydukov, Associate Professor at the MIEM HSE School of Applied Mathematics, has modelled the fluid flow around a rotating disk with small surface irregularities. His solution allows for predicting fluid flow behaviour without the need for powerful supercomputers. The results have been published in Russian Journal of Mathematical Physics. website: https://lnkd.in/enfQgDgG #ResearchAndExpertise #publications #frontiersofscience #hydrodynamics #physics

🎉Celebrating the start of my 4th year studies (masters) in Physics @ King's College London🎉 After having completed a challenging yet successful 3rd year in my Physics studies at Kings College London, I am excited to embark my final year of studies and am looking forward to the opportunities that will be presented. In my masters, I will in particular be focusing the fields of Condensed Matter Physics, Quantum Many Body Modelling and Quantum Information & Computing and hope my research project will be revolved around Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. #CondensedMatterPhysics #QuantumMechanics

Phenomena and Principles: Presenting Quantum Physics in a High School Curriculum | Article by Efraim Yehuda Weissman, Avraham Merzel, Nadav Katz and Igal Galili https://lnkd.in/gaqTdMiw The Hebrew University of Jerusalem; Lev Academic Center ( JCT ); MDPI #teaching #quantum #physics #curriculum This article belongs to the Special Issue: Teaching and Learning Quantum Theory and Particle Physics https://lnkd.in/gfrPyezT #Abstract The goal of teaching quantum physics (QP) in high school is a problematic and highly turbulent area of divergent views, curricula studies, and claims. The innovative curricular approach of discipline-culture (DC) suggests a way of overcoming its significant difficulties. It suggests presenting QP as a fundamental theory structured in terms of the nucleus, body, and periphery. Applying this perspective in our study, we interviewed nine experts with respect to their view of how the nucleus of QP should be presented to high-school students. With the different viewpoints of the core essentials in hand, we compiled the nucleus of the QP. We also examined this subject using nine introductory university textbooks that might suit high school students and considered their coherence and suitability with regard to the specified nucleus. We found some confusion regarding the status of theoretical items: some fundamental principles, as perceived in the eyes of the experts, are presented as phenomena. Not only does this mismatch represent a special barrier for both the teachers and students to understand QP, it promotes an inadequate image of QP as well as a distorted view of the nature of science. Finally, we offer a framework for a DC-based QP curriculum free of the noted deficiencies.

Poisson Geometry & Mathematical Physics May 13 - July 12, 2024 INdAM Unit, Department of Mathematics and Applications "Renato Caccioppoli", University of Napoli Federico II https://lnkd.in/eC_dta-A The aim of the Intensive Period is to bring together researchers interested in Poisson geometry in a broad sense and mathematical physics from Italy and from abroad. It also aims at presenting the foundations of the theory as well as its more recent results/ramifications to potentially interested young researchers. There is a limited amount of funds to support young participants (MSc and PhD students, Post-Docs, etc.) interested in attending any of the programmed activities.
