Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a newly created database of problems and solutions for physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Participants share their thoughts on the usefulness of the site, suggest features, and inquire about specific problem sets.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant introduces a database for physics problems, emphasizing that variables are randomly generated for practice.
  • Another participant expresses appreciation for the site and its potential benefits for learning.
  • A participant suggests the addition of dynamic graphs and diagrams to enhance understanding of physics concepts.
  • There is a proposal for creating a virtual lab environment for safe experimentation and learning.
  • Several participants inquire about specific problem sets, particularly BAUPC problems, and share links to other resources.
  • One participant mentions the site's broader theme related to optimizing the mind and its connection to scientific knowledge.
  • A student seeks guidance on different streams of mechanical engineering, indicating a need for clarification on educational paths.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the usefulness of the database and its potential for educational enhancement. However, there are multiple inquiries about specific content and features, indicating that the discussion remains open-ended without a consensus on the database's completeness or the availability of certain problem sets.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express uncertainty about the availability of specific problem sets and the functionality of links provided. There is also a lack of clarity regarding the integration of various proposed features into the database.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for students and educators in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, as well as those interested in developing educational resources and tools for learning in STEM fields.

I started up a database of problems and solutions for physics, chemistry and maths. Take a look
http://toxicopoeia.com/?get=problems&cat=physics
I've only added physics questions at the moment. All the variables are randomly generated so people can keep practicing the same kinds of questions. I only just got started with this I'm planning on throwing in things like function graphers and diagram generators. If any of you want to see any physics/chemistry related questions added tell me and I'll throw them in. Also if you want to add a question can you write out the solution yourself because it takes me ages to do the solutions.

Physics news on Phys.org
that's a good site,thanks horsebox
 
Thanks. The theme of that site is the mind and methods of optimizing and altering it but my life obsession encompasses nearly everything science related so I had to throw it in

Dunno how I'll integrate it in but I suppose it all goes hand in hand. Scientific knowledge is like ammunition for the mind so the site might as well provide resources to help people learn. I can think of plenty of things which would be of huge benefit to anyone learning. For one dynamic graphs and diagrams which go with every question to give people a visual idea of what's going on.

Something I think would be brilliant would be dynamic graphs which the user controls by inputting variables. For example a picture of a balloon and below the user can input values for volume, pressure and temperature. I have plenty of ideas its all a matter of being able to convert them into a web application. For example I want to make a virtual lab where people can learn lab safety and practice through trial and error without the real risks. They could poison themselves, blow themselves up and burn the lab down as much as they like. I think that people really could learn how to work in a lab safely the same way people learn to fly planes playing flight simulator. The only thing stopping me from doing this is the fact I don't know any flash.

This is well infomative site, helpfull for students as well as who work in any department espacially in teaching job, but have the interested in these fields
 
hi,

Do you have BAUPC problems and solutions? (I downloaded and did a few of them but now the link goes dead...).
If you do, can you send them to: [email address deleted by moderator[/color]] ?
If you don't, do you know anyone who does?

I don't know if this is the same site you used, but it appears to be working now:

http://liquids.seas.harvard.edu/oleg/competition/prev.html

Looks like a good collection of problems.

An excellent site! Thanks for sharing.

hi friends.. iam a student of me 3rd yr.
i don't have any idea about diffrent streams of mechanical engineering.
could anyone help...
