Six Easy Pieces of Physics As Applied to Engineering

Подробнее о видео

This webinar offers a rare chance to explore six of the most fascinating topics from The Feynman Lectures on Physics in a simplified, engaging format without requiring a formal mathematics background. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or new to physics, this session provides an accessible and enriching experience.

This is taken from the book Six Easy Pieces Essentials of Physics by Richard P. Feynman: Explained by its most Brilliant Teacher.

Five compelling reasons why you should attend this:
💠Understand the Movement of Atoms and Its Impact on Everyday Life
The first section, Atoms in Motion, delves into the fundamental building blocks of matter and how their motion shapes everything we see and experience. This foundational concept is not only fascinating but also explains real-world phenomena in a way that’s easy to grasp for a general audience.
💠Explore Conservation of Energy in Action
The Conservation of Energy section breaks down this cornerstone of physics, showing how energy is never lost but transforms from one form to another. Understanding this principle helps in interpreting everything from mechanical systems to renewable energy technologies, making it practical and relevant.
💠Demystify Quantum Behavior Without Complex Math
The Quantum Behavior section introduces one of the most perplexing and revolutionary ideas in modern science.
💠Engage in Interactive Learning
Unlike passive lectures, this webinar incorporates hands-on demonstrations using Python code.
💠Broaden Your Horizons Beyond Science
Richard Feynman’s multidisciplinary approach—spanning science, problem-solving, art, and even music—is an inspiring reminder of the interconnectedness of knowledge.

This will be presented in one hour and you will have the opportunity to demonstrate some of the concepts with Python code online.
