Well — day 2 of summer session II and we have already covered Coulomb’s Law, defined the electric field, and calculated the electric field for a number of charge distributions including the important classical electric dipole. I love the MIT opencourseware for physics visualizations. If you click on this live link, you will find [...]

In the “information age”, data abounds and much of it is publicly funded. Hans Rosling presents data in a visually stimulating manner, tracking stats for countries over time and arguing for far better use and display and availability of data. Great TED talk!
Wendy is about to complete our “physics 54″ via video-link to Dr. Brown’s [...]
