Modeling in Physics Lecture 4: Dirac and Topological Materials
Online Presentations | 25 Sep 2019 | Contributor(s): Bruno Uchoa
In the final lecture, I will make an overview of important active areas of research, including a modern concept of order that relies on topology, a field of mathematics that deals with properties what remain invariant under continuous deformations of shapes and spaces.
Modeling in Physics Lecture 3: Conservation Laws and Broken Symmetries
In this lecture I will explore conservation laws in nature and the concept of order through spontaneously broken symmetries. I will address how conservation laws implied, for instance, in the existence of Dark matter in universe, among other topics.
Modeling in Physics Lecture 2: The Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
The first two lectures of the course will be devoted to a discourse on the scientific method: each lecture will be devoted to describe an outstanding problem in physics, the cultural challenges, the disputes between different currents of thoughts and at the end, the students will be engaged into...
Modeling in Physics Lecture 1: The Scientific Method and its Application to Very Hard Problems
Mini Course on Physical Models
Courses | 04 Sep 2019 | Contributor(s): Bruno Uchoa
This mini-course of four lectures is intended to stimulate undergraduate students to think critically about the the modeling process in physics.
