Brief Biographical Sketch:
Hi! Welcome to my bio. I love all things about the universe, and enjoy using both math and words to tell its story. Through my study of physics and economics, I love finding intersections between fields, and enjoy using one field to explain another. In my free time, I love to read, watch movies, eat, and listen (and play!) music. Looking forward to meeting you all! Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S5019: What's So Special About Relativity? in Splash Spring 2025 (Mar. 02, 2025)
Why do people consider Einstein the smartest person in history? This course dives deep into the mind-blowing impact of relativity – Einstein's seminal invention – from exposing the cracks in Newton’s laws to unraveling the architecture of the cosmos. Einstein didn’t just rewrite the rules of physics; he opened the door to a universe far more thrilling than anyone imagined. This course will involve mind-bending concepts meet real-world wonder, with just a sprinkle of math (don’t worry, it’s straightforward algebra, and we’ve got your back). Together, we’ll unlock the intuition behind relativity and completely transform the way you see space, time, and reality itself.
S4834: What's So Special About Relativity? in Splash Spring 2024 (Apr. 06, 2024)
Have you ever looked at Einstein's work and thought, "big deal!" This course uncovers the true significance behind relativity – from showing that Newton's laws are technically wrong to predicting the structure of the entire cosmos. Einstein's theories catapulted physics into thrilling new realms, and we're here to reveal the excitement. Brace yourself for a touch of math (nothing more complex than algebra, and we'll guide you through it). We'll build an intuitive grasp of relativity, transforming the way you perceive space. Say goodbye to mundane physics – join us on this exhilarating ride through the captivating landscapes of Einstein's revolutionary theories. Get ready to be wowed and rethink everything you thought you knew about the universe!
S4753: What's So Special About Relativity? in Splash Fall 2023 (Nov. 11, 2023)
Have you ever looked at Einstein's work and thought, "big deal!" This course explores what, really, the big deal is with relativity. From correcting Newton's mistakes to predicting the progression of the universe, Einstein's theories of relativity redirected the course of physics into exciting new directions. There will be some math, but not at a more advanced level than algebra, and it will all be explained in detail. Building on a few key principles, we will develop an intuitive understanding of relativity, and hopefully change the way you look at the universe.
