everyday physics of extended bodies or why functionals need analyzing
functionals were discovered and used by volterra over a century ago in his study of the motions of viscous elastic materials and electromagnetic fields. the need to precisely account for the qualitative effects of the cohesion and shape of the domains of these functionals was the major impetus to the development of the branch of mathematics known as topology, and today large numbers of mathemat...
متن کاملSecond Life Physics: Virtual, real, or surreal?
Science teaching detached itself from reality and became restricted to the classrooms and textbooks with their overreliance on standardized and repetitive exercises, while students keep their own alternative conceptions. Papert, displeased with this inefficient learning process as early as 1980, championed physics microworlds, where students could experience a variety of laws of motion, from Ar...

Thus, it has become increasingly important to understand how and why urban dwellers interact with nature. Studies of urban green space use have largely focused on the availability and ease of access ...
متن کاملOn Why-Questions in Physics
In natural sciences, the most interesting and relevant questions are the socalled why-questions. What is a why-question? A why-question is nothing else than a question in the form “Why P?” (or “Why is P true?”) where P is an arbitrary statement. There are several different approaches to why-questions and explanations in the literature, see, for example, [5], [6], [7], [15]. However, most of the...
متن کاملthe impact of training on second language writing assessment: a case of raters’ biasedness
چکیده هدف اول این تحقیق بررسی تأثیر آموزش مصحح بر آموزش گیرندگان براساس پایایی نمره های آنها در پنج بخش شامل محتوا ، سازمان ، لغت ، زبان و مکانیک بود. هدف دوم این بود که بدانیم آیا تفاوتهای بین آموزشی گیرندگان زن و مرد در پایایی نمرات آنها وجود دارد. برای بررسی این موارد ، ما 90 دانشجو در سطح میانه (متوسط) که از طریق تست تعیین سطح شده بودند انتخاب شدند. بعد از آنها خواستیم که درباره دو موضوع ا...
