The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a physics textbook based on a great number of lectures by Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". [1] The lectures were presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), during 1961–1964.
Xcas. Xcas/Giac is an open-source project developed at the Joseph Fourier University of Grenoble since 2000. Written in C++, maintained by Bernard Parisse's [ fr] et al. and available for Windows, Mac, Linux and many others platforms. It has a compatibility mode with Maple, Derive and MuPAD software and TI-89, TI-92 and Voyage 200 calculators.
e. An example of mathematical physics: solutions of Schrödinger's equation for quantum harmonic oscillators (left) with their amplitudes (right). Mathematical physics refers to the development of mathematical methods for application to problems in physics. The Journal of Mathematical Physics defines the field as "the application of mathematics ...
Creative Commons (CC-BY) PhET Interactive Simulations, a project at the University of Colorado Boulder, is a non-profit [1] open educational resource project that creates and hosts explorable explanations. It was founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman. PhET began with Wieman's vision to improve the way science is taught and learned.
The relationship between mathematics and physics has been a subject of study of philosophers, mathematicians and physicists since antiquity, and more recently also by historians and educators. [2] Generally considered a relationship of great intimacy, [3] mathematics has been described as "an essential tool for physics" [4] and physics has been ...
Equations. Mass number. A = (Relative) atomic mass = Mass number = Sum of protons and neutrons. N = Number of neutrons. Z = Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons. A = Z + N {\displaystyle A=Z+N\,\!} Mass in nuclei. M'nuc = Mass of nucleus, bound nucleons. MΣ = Sum of masses for isolated nucleons.
Screw theory. Screw theory is the algebraic calculation of pairs of vectors, such as angular and linear velocity, or forces and moments, that arise in the kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies. [1] [2] Screw theory provides a mathematical formulation for the geometry of lines which is central to rigid body dynamics, where lines form the screw ...
