When these findings first came to light, some started to question the validity of psychology as a science due to its lack of … [Read more...] about The Replication Crisis
Derivatives are Opposite to Boundaries: The Generalized Stoke’s Theorem and its Applications in Physics and Aerospace Engineering
I hope all of my readers are doing well as midterm season approaches. In this week’s blog post, I will try to cover a lot of information in a short amount of space. First, I will be building up intuition for a math formula that has staggering importance. This formula is called the Generalized Stoke’s Theorem, and very well may be my favorite piece of math. Then, I will explore … [Read more...] about Derivatives are Opposite to Boundaries: The Generalized Stoke’s Theorem and its Applications in Physics and Aerospace Engineering
