American Journal of Physics, 2016 More than a decade ago, Edwin Taylor issued a “call to action” that presented the case for basing introductory university mechanics teaching around the principle of stationary action [E. F. Taylor, Am. J. Phys. 71, 423–425 (2003)]. We report on our response to that call in the form of an investigation of the teaching and learning of the stationary ...

Laser physics: Quantum controversy in action [PDF]
Reviews of Modern Physics, 1999 Laser physics is a subject whose roots go back to the very source of quantum thought, namely, blackbody radiation and the Planck distribution. But the road to the first maser device showing radiation amplification by stimulated emission was rocky indeed. Likewise, the struggle to produce the first laser was hampered by much false “wisdom.” Furthermore,

Training action for physics teachers: an application of problem-based learning
, 2022 The teaching of problem-based learning is a didactic approach that requires a radical change in the role of the physics teacher because it is focused on learning, research, and reflection that students follow to reach a solution to a problem situation ...

A Biofeedback Game with Physical Actions [PDF]
, 2010 We developed a biofeedback game in which players can take other physical actions besides simply "relaxing". We used the skin conductance response for sensing a player's surge of excitement and penalized players when they did not attack enemies in situations because they were not calm enough to meet the biofeedback threshold.

Some trends in the philosophy of physics [PDF]
, 2011 A short review of some recent developments in the philosophy of physics is presented. I focus on themes which illustrate relations and points of common interest between philosophy of physics and three of its 'neighboring' fields: Physics, metaphysics and

Mirroring cannot account for understanding action [PDF]
, 2008 Susan Hurley's shared circuits model (SCM) rightly begins in action and progresses through a series of layers; but it fails to reach action understanding because it relies on mirroring as a driving force, draws on heavily criticized theories, and ...

Geometric and physical interpretation of the action principle
Scientific Reports, 2023 AbstractWe give a geometric interpretation for the principle of stationary action in classical Lagrangian particle mechanics. In a nutshell, the difference of the action along a path and its variation effectively “counts” the possible evolutions that “go through” the area enclosed.
