A framework for the natures of negativity in introductory physics [PDF]
, 2019 Mathematical reasoning skills are a desired outcome of many introductory physics courses, particularly calculus-based physics courses. Positive and negative quantities are ubiquitous in physics, and the sign carries important and varied meanings. Novices

Nutrition, Physical Work Capacity and Work Output
, 1984 It is generally believed that productivity among workers developing countries is low. This has been attributed at least in part to their poor physique as a consequence of chronic malnutrition. Evidence based upon epidemiological data collected during wars and other conditions of deprivation have indicated that inadequacy of food intake results in ...

Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022 For young women, inbound identity trajectories into physics are generally regarded as exceptional. In this study, we investigated the experiences that young women have which may support their sustained interest and achievement in physics, and their ...

Methods for Analyzing Pathways through a Physics Major
, 2016 Physics Education Research frequently investigates what students studying physics do on small time scales (e.g. single courses, observations within single courses), or post-education time scales (e.g., what jobs do physics majors get?) but there is ...

Trans-Planckian Scale and Krein Space Quantization [PDF]
, 2011 In this work, Krein space quantization method is applied to eliminate the Ultraviolet divergence of Green functions. This paper shows that the power spectrum of scalar field fluctuations can be calculated in the limit of short distance physics, trans ...

Importance of math prerequisites for performance in introductory physics
Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021 Previous work has looked at the relationship between high school preparation and student performance in calculus-based introductory mechanics (physics 1) courses. Here, we extend that work to look at performance in introductory calculus-based electricity
