Teaching Special Relativity Using Physlets ®
THE PHYSICS TEACHER ◆ Vol. 42, May 2004 In a recent paper in this journal1 we presented work on the creation and use of Physlet-based2 exercises to teach physical and wave optics. Since then we have developed ready-to-run exercises for introductory physics3, 4 and have developed Physletbased exercises for more advanced topics such as quantum mechanics. In this paper we describe the materials we...
متن کاملTeaching machine learning from examples
We used the datasets of the NIPS 2003 challenge on feature selection as part of the practical work of an undergraduate course on feature extraction. The students were provided with a toolkit implemented in Matlab. Part of the course requirements was that they should outperform given baseline methods. The results were beyond expectations: the student matched or exceeded the performance of the be...
متن کاملTeaching Statistics with Sports Examples
Class material for introductory and advanced statistics can be colorfully illustrated by using appropriate data and examples from sports. Specific methods, including statistical graphics (e.g., boxplots), ball-and-urn probabilities, and statistical regression are demonstrated. Examples are drawn from popular American sports such as baseball, basketball, soccer and American football. Classroom f...
متن کاملTeaching with Examples in A Real Environment
Teaching is challenging in a real environment. One problem is that not all examples may be available to teach. We show how to teach several important concept classes namely conjunction, disjunction and linear threshold functions under different characterizations of the domain of available examples. We show that a monotone linear threshold function is teachable using a polynomial number of examp...
متن کاملTeaching Decision Making with Baseball Examples
Sports examples can be wonderful vehicles for teaching OR/MS concepts. Baseball is particularly well suited to teaching statistics/probability, Markov decision processes, and decision analysis. This paper details a baseball example I developed to teach fundamental decision making skills. This example has been used successfully to teach decision making to undergraduates and graduates in technica...
