Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Calendar of Leading Experiments, 1918 Our teachers of mathematics seem to know that they are responsible for a certain kind of training, and they are not ashamed to apply themselves narrowly in its accomplishment. Indeed, many of us who do not share their responsibility are inclined to think that mathematics teachers apply themselves too nar rowly, because their students, as we get them, are deficient in mathematical ideas although strong, it maybe, on forms. Physics teachers also have a definite responsibility, and our notion as to this responsibility is suggested by examples a and b above. The physics teacher, however, is strongly imbued with the idea that his function is to disclose to the student his (the physicist's) domain of nature, and he is inclined there fore to discuss results - Helmholtz's theory of the origin of the sun's heat, Lord Kelvin's calculations of the age of the earth, and many other things of equal speculative interest - but such things prematurely considered divert the student's attention away from elementary or irreducible ideas and conceptions with out which no analytical thinking is possible. Results are fine inventions For gentlemen who see. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Calendar of Leading Experiments, 1918 (a) "A boatman sits on a scat, braces his feet against a cleat and pulls on an oar. What forces act on the boatman's body?" The earth pulls on the boatman, the seat pushes on the boatman, the cleat pushes on the boatman and the oar pulls on the boatman. This is all very simple to one who has acquired the habit of analytical thinking, but a large group of sophomore engineering students got an average of 45 per cent in their answers to the question after two weeks of insistent coaching on the fundamental notion of force action, and nearly every human aspect of boating was represented in the answers, including even the chance of a ducking, for several of the young men would have it that the water pushes on the boatman's body. (b) Ask a student of elementary mechanics how a body (a particle) behaves when it is acted upon by an unbalanced force, and the natural habit of thinking-in-terms-of-human-values shows itself after the most exacting class-room drill. Instead of giving his attention narrowly to what is taking place at an instant, the student, in his groping for human values (which do not exist in the bare elements of a subject), is pretty sure to refer to past history and to future prospects; his idea as to what is taking place is apt to remain widely inclusive, as if he were thinking of a complex human experience like two hours at a play, or a month's vacation, or four years of war. Very often the homely wording of the question as stated above betrays the student into a disclosure of his native contempt for precise ideas and he answers naively that "the body moves in the direction of the force." It is very difficult to develop the habit of analytical thinking. Our teachers of mathematics seem to know that they arc responsible for a certain kind of training, and they arc not ashamed to apply themselves narrowly in its accomplishment.

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Download or read book Very Very Very Dreadful written by Albert Marrin and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From National Book Award finalist Albert Marrin comes a fascinating look at the history and science of the deadly 1918 flu pandemic--and its chilling and timely resemblance to the worldwide coronavirus outbreak. In spring of 1918, World War I was underway, and troops at Fort Riley, Kansas, found themselves felled by influenza. By the summer of 1918, the second wave struck as a highly contagious and lethal epidemic and within weeks exploded into a pandemic, an illness that travels rapidly from one continent to another. It would impact the course of the war, and kill many millions more soldiers than warfare itself. Of all diseases, the 1918 flu was by far the worst that has ever afflicted humankind; not even the Black Death of the Middle Ages comes close in terms of the number of lives it took. No war, no natural disaster, no famine has claimed so many. In the space of eighteen months in 1918-1919, about 500 million people--one-third of the global population at the time--came down with influenza. The exact total of lives lost will never be known, but the best estimate is between 50 and 100 million. In this powerful book, filled with black and white photographs, nonfiction master Albert Marrin examines the history, science, and impact of this great scourge--and the possibility for another worldwide pandemic today.
