AI Thread Summary
Simulations are increasingly recognized for their effectiveness in enhancing learning in STEM fields. A collection of over 40 Windows-executable simulations, compatible with Wine, is available at vias.org, focusing on subjects like math, physics, computer science, and chemistry. These programs require no installation and are licensed under Creative Commons, making them accessible for private tutoring. Users report finding these simulations particularly useful, with some even describing transformative experiences while using them. Overall, the availability of these resources supports the argument for the value of simulations in STEM education.

A growing collection of (now 40+) Windows-executables (work fine under Wine) focusing on math, physics, computer sciences and chemistry can be found here: http://www.vias.org/simulations/index.html"

Some of these little programs (no installation needed, Creative Commons License) I found pretty usefull for (private) tutoring.

BTW: The http://www.vias.org/simulations/simusoft_travsalm.html" even gave me a "Zen-moment".

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
