At the introductory level, student typically study classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism (EM). The upper level physics courses focus on quantum mechanics and then more advanced versions of ...

In recent courses, I have noticed two troubling practices of physics students. The first is the student response to homework problems. I hear the following kind of statements all too often: "Oh, you ...

For many undergraduate students, exploring the complexities of physics for the first time, from wading through advanced mathematics, to absorbing information in a large lecture format, can be a ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Sticking in the classical world, electricity and magnetism is an ...

Recent developments in machine learning techniques have been supported by the continuous increase in availability of high-performance computational resources and data. While large volumes of data are ...

In The Physics Teacher, researchers explore the goal of culturally relevant pedagogy, which is to center students' cultural resources as a bridge to learning. It relies on a framework of academic ...

For anyone who has ever wondered what it would be like to learn from a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, you’re in luck: You can read physicist Richard Feynman’s most famous lectures online for free.

Machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, vastly speeds up computational tasks and enables new technology in areas as broad as speech and image recognition, self-driving cars, stock market ...

A new study showed that, when confronted with physics problems, new parts of a student's brain are utilized after receiving instruction in the topic. Parts of the brain not traditionally associated ...

We provide our physics undergraduates with a rigorous core program and opportunities for cutting edge research. A physics degree from Boston College opens doors to employment at global tech and ...
