S8591: The Physics of Quantum Measurements in Splash 2014 (Nov. 22 - 23, 2014)
Come learn about quantum uncertainty and the nature of wave-particle duality to start, and then we’ll get into the relevance of these in some of the most precise measurements in science. Moreover, we’ll do all of this with minimal math. We should never go beyond calculus 1, and most things will be understandable with algebra 2. If logistics and time permit, we’ll also try to give some lab tours of Physics labs at MIT (eg. Gravitational Wave detector LIGO)


S8482: All the Physics you can do before Calculus 2 in HSSP Summer 2014 (Jul. 06, 2014)
Some parts of Physics require high level math. Some don’t. We’ll be focusing on the latter. Come learn about quantum uncertainty and the nature of wave-particle duality to start, and then we’ll get into the statistical nature of gasses. We’ll finish (depending on time) with relativity and other cool things (optics, cosmology, etc.). Moreover, we’ll do all of this with minimal math. We should never go beyond calculus 1, and most things will be understandable with algebra 2. If logistics and time permit, we’ll also try to give some lab tours of Physics labs at MIT (eg. Gravitational Wave detector LIGO, Nuclear and Particle Physics labs and Atomic labs.)
