Closely related to this is the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking, in which the underlying system (and in particular, the energy functional H) enjoys some symmetry (e.g. translation symmetry or rotation symmetry), but the Gibbs states for that system do not. For instance, the laws ...
Many ACCA-accredited universities also enable you to combine it with a BSc or MSc in a related field, resulting in a dual degree at the end of your studies. The examinations are notoriously tricky, but you have ten years to complete them all — and most individuals do so in less than ...
So what is the “solution” to encouraging more girls (and I mean girls of color as well) to go into mathematics and science related fields? The answer is not more practice. One of the answers is to give them more “role models,” including Dr. Barbara Oakley, as well as giving them...
This is one of the central tenants of any Statistics course: just because to things appear to be related does not mean that one causes the other.This CNN news piecelinking a variety of food consumption to depression falls into this trap. This is perhaps one of the most common mistakes in...
