Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Thursday, 15-Mar-2018 21:41:14 UTC Stephen Sekula My #PHYS1303 students got a practice exam today, to help them prep for Exam 2. The exam includes a Star Wars-themed problem about Rey, Kylo, and Snoke fighting over a lightsaber. You are welcome. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/974398167084040193/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/48985 -

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Thursday, 08-Mar-2018 12:41:12 UTC Stephen Sekula Gabrielle Emilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise Du Chatelet: kinetic energy goes as the square of the speed of an object. This discovery set the stage for reformulating mechanics in terms of energy and energy conservation. #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/971725783675887621/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/48804 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Monday, 05-Mar-2018 01:11:10 UTC Stephen Sekula Excited to take a crack at recreating Emilie Du Chatelet's experiments this week. #PHYS1303 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink -
Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Friday, 02-Mar-2018 17:11:11 UTC Stephen Sekula I had a lot of fun shooting the experiment demonstration videos for "Deeper into Forces". Rediscovering the empirical laws of friction with a force meter, string, and some iron is satisfying and exhilarating. #PHYS1303 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink -
Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Sunday, 25-Feb-2018 06:31:12 UTC Stephen Sekula After a ridiculously productive week @CERN working with @SMU and @ATLASexperiment colleagues, it's time to head home and resume my campus duties. Thanks to @profcooley for covering my class. This coming week in #PHYS1303: Newton's Laws, Newton's Laws, NEWTON'S LAWS! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/967646982398447616/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/48580 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Thursday, 08-Feb-2018 13:01:16 UTC Stephen Sekula Today in #PHYS1303, we explore projectile motion. We'll combine math and live demonstration; explore the realities and myths of "hang time" in basketball; and maybe look at a current event.

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Tuesday, 06-Feb-2018 13:01:54 UTC Stephen Sekula Today we begin to explore motion in more than 1 dimension in #PHYS1303.

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Thursday, 01-Feb-2018 13:02:55 UTC Stephen Sekula Today in #PHYS1303, we grapple with mathematical descriptions of change in more than one dimension. We dig into vectors and apply them to the cosmos. "And what do we think about Vector? \\ Boo!!"

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Tuesday, 30-Jan-2018 14:31:15 UTC Stephen Sekula You have been warned, #PHYS1303 students. This will appear at the beginning of class today. :-) https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/958344569250308097/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/47827 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Tuesday, 30-Jan-2018 13:01:24 UTC Stephen Sekula Today in #PHYS1303, we'll begin exploring acceleration in 1 dimension. Life is pretty boring without change. So would be the whole universe.

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Tuesday, 30-Jan-2018 12:51:23 UTC Stephen Sekula Is my mashup of Rey and Kylo Ren fighting the Praetorian Guard to the tune of "Could Have Been Me" by The Struts going to be featured in #PHYS1303 today? Um. Yeah. But seriously, there is a physics moment key to today's class. Don't miss the beginning of class today! In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink -
Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Thursday, 25-Jan-2018 13:01:24 UTC Stephen Sekula Today in #PHYS1303, we'll begin to apply the description of motion in just 1 spatial dimension to learn to solve problems involving such motion. "Now the world is gone, I'm just one." Aw, it's not that bad. If you want to understand all 3, begin with 1.
