Collected Papers of Carl Wieman
Carl Wieman's contributions have had a major impact on defining the field of atomic physics as it exists today. His ground-breaking research has included precision laser spectroscopy; using lasers and atoms to provide important table-top tests of theories of elementary particle physics; the development of techniques to cool and trap atoms using laser light, particularly in inventing much simpler, less expensive ways to do this; the understanding of how atoms interact with one another and light at ultracold temperatures; and the creation of the first Bose-Einstein condensation in a dilute gas, and the study of the properties of this condensate. In recent years, he has also turned his attention to physics education and new methods and research in that area. This indispensable volume presents his collected papers, with annotations from the author, tracing his fascinating research path and providing valuable insight about the significance of the works.
Improving How Universities Teach Science
Too many universities remain wedded to outmoded ways of teaching science in spite of extensive research showing that there are much more effective methods. Too few departments ask whether what happens in their lecture halls is effective at helping students to learn and how they can encourage their faculty to teach better. But real change is possible, and Carl Wieman shows us how it can be brought about. Improving How Universities Teach Science draws on Wieman’s unparalleled experience to provide a blueprint for educators seeking sustainable improvements in science teaching. Wieman created the Science Education Initiative (SEI), a program implemented across thirteen science departments at t...
The Extended Mind
A bold new book reveals how we can tap the intelligence that exists beyond our brains--in our bodies, our surroundings, and our relationships Use your head. That's what we tell ourselves when facing a tricky problem or a difficult project. But a growing body of research indicates that we've got it exactly backwards. What we need to do, says acclaimed science writer Annie Murphy Paul, is think outside the brain. A host of "extra-neural" resources--the feelings and movements of our bodies, the physical spaces in which we learn and work, and the minds of those around us-- can help us focus more intently, comprehend more deeply, and create more imaginatively. The Extended Mind outlines the resea...
The New College Classroom
Frederic W. Ness Book Award, American Association of Colleges and Universities A Forbes Best Higher Education Book “A practical guide to more effective and engaged college teaching.”—Forbes “Everyone who teaches (or hopes to teach) college will find this book a provocative and stimulating source of ideas about how to make our classrooms more equitable, participatory and interactive.”—Steven Mintz, Inside Higher Ed “A pedagogical treasure trove...Required reading for educators who aspire to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors by teaching students not only to navigate the world, but to change it.”—Danica Savonick, Public Books “A guidebook and a DIY manifesto for ch...
Nobel Prize Winners in Physics
The book opens with the portrait of the man behind the awards: Alfred Bernhard Nobel and his biographical sketch. It gives an introduction to the Nobel foundation, prizes,selection of prize winners, and prize ceremonies. Nobel diplomas and Nobel Prize amounts are described in brief. In the end, a list of all 168 Nobel Prizewinners are given which includes the prize-awarding year and prize winning work.Also included is a short account of the laureates' life and work, followed by a historical and explanatory introduction to the particular discovery or achievement which gained him or her the prize.
Condensed Matter Field Theory
Primer, including problems and solutions, for graduate level courses on theoretical quantum condensed matter physics.
Long-term Research and Development in Science Education
The book consists of 16 chapters and 2 commentaries describing long term R&D projects in science and mathematics education conducted in the Department of Science Teaching, The Weizmann Institute of Science. Almost all the chapters describe long-term projects, some over the period of 50 years.
