Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

Debunked calculates the terminal velocity of a human during free fall. ‘Something dramatic has happened': Robert Reich says U.S. is finally seeing Trump's true impact Zach Bryan faces country music ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know.” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

All the tech we rely on, from cars to smartphones, was engineered using physics. You don’t need to know the science to use these things. But a well-rounded human should understand at least some of the ...

AT the recent Winnipeg meeting of the British Association we presented some results on the terminal velocity of fall of approximately spherical spores, which were not in agreement with Stokes's ...
