Cynthia Lanius Pictured:The Yerkes-Dodson Law Stressed Out Slope as Rate of Change It's the night of the big game (or play). You're in the locker room (or dressing room). The coach (make that director) is pumping the team (cast) up. "Now, I know you people are nervous. That's okay, in fact, that's what we want. You're going to perform better on the court (stage) if you're a little nervous". Does the graph above confirm what the coach (director) told you? Here are some questions for you based upon the graph. Write a statement that describes performance as stress increases. Which part of the graph illustrates where stress is highest? What is performance at that point? Which part of the graph illustrates where performance is highest? Which part of the graph illustrates where performance is increasing? Which part of the graph illustrates where performance is decreasing? Notice that the graph is symmetric about a vertical line. What would you say this indicates about performance? What if this were a graph of your bank balance over a year. Describe what the graph would indicate about your saving and spending practices.

Notable Properties of Specific Numbers Introduction These are some numbers with notable properties. (Most of the less notable properties are listed here .) Other people have compiled similar lists, but this is my I think are important A few rules I used in this list: Everything can be understood by a typical undergraduate college student. If multiple numbers have a shared property, that property is described under one "representative" number with that property. I try to choose the smallest representative that is not also cited for another property. Properties that do not depend on our use of base-10 are listed before those that do. Mathematical (abstract, non-physical) properties are listed before non-mathematical (cultural, linguistic, etc.) properties. This is the Planck time in seconds; it is related to quantum mechanics. The best interpretation for most people is that the Planck time is the shortest measurable period of time; any two events that are separated by less than this amount of time can be considered simultaneous. See also and This is the Planck length in meters; it is related to quantum mechanics. The best interpretation for most people is that the Planck length is the smallest measurable length, or the smallest length that has any relevance to events that we can observe. See also

68. 5.6 Math -- Mathematical Functions e The mathematical constant e. Note The math module consists mostly of thin wrappers around the platform C math library functions. http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-math.html

Python Library Reference Previous: 5.5 test.test_support Up: 5. Miscellaneous Services Next: 5.7 cmath math Mathematical functions This module is always available. It provides access to the mathematical functions defined by the C standard. These functions cannot be used with complex numbers; use the functions of the same name from the cmath module if you require support for complex numbers. The distinction between functions which support complex numbers and those which don't is made since most users do not want to learn quite as much mathematics as required to understand complex numbers. Receiving an exception instead of a complex result allows earlier detection of the unexpected complex number used as a parameter, so that the programmer can determine how and why it was generated in the first place. The following functions are provided by this module. Except when explicitly noted otherwise, all return values are floats: acos x Return the arc cosine of x asin x Return the arc sine of x atan x Return the arc tangent of x y, x

These objects (both executable files and source code) can be downloaded, modified if desired, and reused. Applets The applets in this project are small, self-contained programs that run in web pages. They are intended to illustrate probabilistic and statistical concepts and techniques in an interactive, dynamic way. A teacher or student can download an applet, drop it in a web page, and then add other elements of her own choice (such as expository text, data sets, and graphics). The applets in the library contain essentially no mathematical theory and thus can be used by students at various levels. The applets are intended to be small "micro worlds" where students can run virtual versions of random experiments and play virtual versions of statistical games.

Back to Contents! Next: Force Revisited Up: CONSERVING EQUATIONS Previous: CONSERVING EQUATIONS Math Unit III: More on the derivative and differential equations In the last unit, we discussed how mathematicians and scientists deal with quantities that change in ways other than linearly. The key idea turns out to be the rate of change of the quantity. The lowbrow way to measure the rate of change is to compute the average rate of change over a small interval. The high-class way to talk about change is to try to compute the derivative , or instantaneous rate of change In real-world situations, when one deals with measured data, it is often the case that the data has been measured only for certain specific values of the independent variable. Then, one can only compute average rates of change between the data points. But in mathematics, when one deals with abstractly-defined functions, it is possible to compute derivatives. Often, mathematical models are developed using derivatives, predictions are made based upon these mathematical models, and then experimental results are compared to the predictions to see how well the models reflect reality. 1.

James G. Gilson, Fine Structure Constant The fine structure constant, a 20th century mystery The question of how to calculate the numerical value of the fine structure constant from theory was one of the most outstandingly difficult problems in mathematical physics for the greater part of the 20th century. There were many unsuccessful attempts by researchers including famous ones such as P. A. M. Dirac to find a formula for the fine structure constant. See John Baez's website page Open Questions in Physics and also the PhysLINK website. Substantial progress with this fundamental problem is outlined on this web page. R.P. Feynman in a remarkable intuitional leap some 40 years ago as can be seen from the following much quoted extract from one of Feynman's books. fundamental quantum coupling constants are given by the very simple formula depending on two integer parameters n and n ,n ) = n The values of the quantum coupling constants are often denoted by the lower case Greek letter alpha alpha with no subscript.

Encyclopedia Entry for Planck's constant Dictionary Definition of Planck's constant Planck's constant , denoted h , is a physical constant that is used to describe the sizes of quanta . It plays a central role in the theory of quantum mechanics , and is named after Max Planck , one of the founders of quantum theory. It has a value of approximately Planck's constant has units of energy multiplied by time , which are the units of action . These units may also be written as momentum times distance N m s ), which are the units of angular momentum A closely-related quantity is pi . This constant, which is pronounced as "h-bar", is sometimes (though infrequently) referred to as Dirac's constant , after Paul Dirac Planck's constant is used to describe quantization, a phenomenon occurring in microscopic particles such as electrons and photons in which certain physical properties occur in fixed amounts rather than assuming a continuous range of possible values. For instance, the energy E carried by a beam of light with constant frequency can only take on the values It is sometimes more convenient to use the angular frequency , which gives Many such "quantization conditions" exist. A particularly interesting condition governs the quantization of
