September 2nd, 2010Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity | Lecture 3
September 2nd, 2010
In this lecture, Leonard Susskind continues his discussion of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. He also gives a broad overview of the field of tensor calculus and it’s relation to the curvature and geometry of space-time. This Stanford Continuing Studies course is the fourth of a six-quarter sequence of classes exploring the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics. The topics covered in this course focus on classical mechanics. Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Physics at Stanford University.

This episode features Daniel J. Tichenor, the Philip H. Knight Professor of Social Science and Senior Faculty Fellow at the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics. He has published extensively on immigration, national identity, the American presidency, civil liberties, interest groups, social movements, political parties, and public policy. He has been a Faculty Scholar at the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics at Princeton University, Research Fellow in Governmental Studies at the Brookings Institution, Abba P. Schwartz Fellow in Immigration and Refugee Policy at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Research Scholar at the Eagleton Institute of Politics, a visiting scholar at Leipzig University, and a faculty associate at Princeton’s Center for Migration and Development and the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at the University of California, San Diego. His book, Dividing Lines: The Politics of Immigration Control in America (Princeton University Press), won the American Political Science Association’s Gladys M. Kammerer Award for the best book in American national policy. His forthcoming works include Faustian Bargains: The Origins and Development of America’s Illegal Immigration Dilemma (University of Michigan Press) and The Oxford Handbook on International Migration (Oxford University Press). He also has written essays for popular journals like The Nation and The Utne Reader, regularly gives public lectures, and has testified and provided …

The often daunting subject of Algebra is woven into an entertaining narrative music video with a two-fold educational intention; to increase students interest and confidence in the subject matter and to introduce complex mathematical concepts using popular rap music.
Automatic discovery of natural laws from experimental data
August 31st, 2010
From the paper Michael Schmidt, Hod Lipson, “Distilling Free-Form Natural Laws from Experimental Data,” Science 324: 81-85, 3 April 2009 . The authors have demonstrated the discovery of physical laws, from scratch, directly from experimentally captured data with the use of a computational search. We used the presented approach to detect nonlinear energy conservation laws, Newtonian force laws, geometric invariants, and system manifolds in various synthetic and physically implemented systems without prior knowledge about physics, kinematics, or geometry. The concise analytical expressions that we found are amenable to human interpretation and help to reveal the physics underlying the observed phenomenon. Many applications exist for this approach, in fields ranging from systems biology to cosmology, where theoretical gaps exist despite abundance in data. Might this process diminish the role of future scientists? Quite the contrary: Scientists may use processes such as this to help focus on interesting phenomena more rapidly and to interpret their meaning.
AC Bio Notes! A Rap=]
August 31st, 2010
Lyrics: Wastin’ all our time on a Thursday afternoon See this hot chick and it almost makes me swoon School day is tomorrow and we’re seein’ it with dread Feelin’ rather hungry so we go munch on some bread Done all of our homework except for one little bit I’ll tell ya it’s not band, world geo, or even lit It’s getting hot in there so we take off our fur coats And we settle nice and comfy to some AC bio notes Go up to my room just to get my bio book, With a mournful glance at my 360 do I look Gaze at the title: Connections and Concepts It’s a real thick book man, just like Gabe and I’s biceps Open up the book and the first thing that I see Stings my gentle eyes just like a mean and little bee We flip the big fat book to the required sections Already my weak mind is screaming out our objections In the beginning I see stuff about plasmids, And they look like bling bling chains that we store back at our cribs Scientists put them in things like prokaryote bacteria Helping our mankind bein’ the main criteria Wastin’ all our time on a Thursday afternoon. See this hot chick and it almost makes me swoon School day is tomorrow and we hate it in extreme Feelin’ rather hungry so we go munch on ice cream Done all of our homework except for one little bit I’ll tell ya it’s not band, world geo, or even lit It’s getting hot in there so we take off our fur coats And we settle nice and comfy to some AC bio notes Restriction enzymes we can see cut up new DNA Why it does that, you askin’ me …
Richard Dawkins Growing Up In The Universe 4 1of6
August 31st, 2010
Oxford professor Richard Dawkins presents a series of lectures on life, the universe, and our place in it. With brilliance and clarity, Dawkins unravels an educational gem that will mesmerize young and old alike. Illuminating demonstrations, wildlife, virtual reality, and special guests (including Douglas Adams) all combine to make this collection a timeless classic. The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures for Children were founded by Michael Faraday in 1825, with himself as the inaugural lecturer. The 1991 lecturer was Richard Dawkins whose five one-hour lectures, originally televised by the BBC www.richarddawkins.net
