Event Description

We understand movement through dance, sports, and transportation. We use models (equations, graphs, pictures) to communicate our knowledge. We explain motion in terms of forces, fields, and energy.  How do we choose which models and explanations are best?  A physicist’s best model is no longer Newton’s laws but rather Least Action and, yet it is not taught in our schools.

Professor Eisenkraft will explore the principle of Least Action and sense its beauty. Through this exploration, we will gain insights into improved learning and teaching.

The lecture will be followed by a Q&A Session with the audience.
