Physics education

Dmitry, Maria, Anna, and Olga. Lenin and his family were well educated (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin). His father worked as a Russian public figure in the field of public education. His father, Ilya Nikolayevich Ulyanov, came from a family of serfs. Despite this, he was able to study physics and mathematics at Kazan Imperial University before teaching at the…

shamed, because it wasn’t a norm. We see a diverse fascination with natural sciences in Europe and America. These particular women can be seen shadowing male scientists during their time. Different fields of study were focused on: Botany, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Mathematics, Medicine, Natural History, and so on. During this 18th century era especially, both men and women became interested in several scientific fields, this is where term naturalists came about. Naturalist will become a…

Imagine if one didn’t know what the universe contained. What if the simplest knowledge of what the sparkling objects in the night sky are wasn’t known, or that earth rotates around the sun, not the other way around. If facts like these weren’t known, people would have a great fear of the unknown. Imagine how people would think of the universe. Without astronomers the known would still be part of the unknown. Astronomers have a very unique job description that includes the study of stars, planets…

Christianity itself was getting started, medicine was a basic, if not crude, practice; mathematics was used chiefly for business and surveying; and astronomy was closely associated with astrology. There were no readily identifiable forms of chemistry, physics, or biology, although the civil engineering of roads, buildings and aqueducts had developed through trial-and-error experience. It would be a mistake, however, to conclude that people back then were stupid and ignorant: classical Greek and…

ndividuals win Nobel Prizes for doing something out going, discovering something, or even curing someone. Albert Einstein, won a Nobel Prize for Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. Growing up he felt not smart and thought that he was going to be nothing in life, but he realized that he loved learning and that he was going to be something in life and make something of his name. He has inspiring quotes that just make you want to push…

Mathematica” (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), which set the three laws of motion and the law of universal gravity. This was set to be the single most influential books on physics and all science, it is commonly known as Principia and contains information on mostly all the essential concepts of physics. Principia launched Newton to fame, eventually earning universal praise as one of the most important works of modern science. The work he created contains the three basic laws of…

his influence. Beyond literature, Lomonosov had a great impact on science through his discoveries. He was a polymath and worked on many different areas including chemistry, physics, astronomy, meteorology, mineralogy, and metallurgy (Vernadsky 38). Most of his earlier career was focused physics and chemistry. His work in physics focused for a period on electricity where he did many experiments with Georg Wilhelm Richmann, a German at the Academy of Sciences. Their work lead Lomonosov to come to…

returned with an insulting remark. When his reputation spread he went from becoming a full time professor in Prague and Zürich, to being appointed director of the Institute of Physics at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. This position relieved Einstein of teaching duties, and he devoted this free time to his studies. The current education system is abysmal to American society. Teacher accountability has become unobtainable in American public schools, because of teacher union policies, that protect…

He was born on January 4, 1643 and died on march 31, 1727. He was a physicist and a mathematician who developed the principles of modern physics, also the laws of motion, and was credited with one of the greatest minds of the 17th century. Newton made discoveries in optics, motion and mathematics. In 1668 he designed and constructed a reflecting telescope. Newton created a theory of gravity, it states that two objects attract each other with a force of gravitational attraction that's…

. Galileo is one of the greatest scientists the world has ever seen. He made major contributions to the fields of physics, astronomy, cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy. He overcame many struggles and changed the way people look at the heavens. Galileo was one of the first to use the scientific method and many historians credit him for being the “founder of modern experimental science”. Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He was the eldest of seven children born to…
