About HyperPhysics

Rationale for Development

HyperPhysics is an exploration environment for concepts in physics which employs concept maps and other linking strategies to facilitate smooth navigation. For the most part, it is laid out in small segments or "cards", true to its original development in HyperCard. The entire environment is interconnected with thousands of links, reminiscent of a neural network.

Merlot Classic Award winner for 2005

"Hyperphysics was honored because of its comprehensive coverage of most of physics, the creative use of multimedia and linking, and the impact it has had on students worldwide. Online tutorials cover a wide range of physics topics, including modern physics and astronomy. Material is organized through extensive concept maps."

My Child Will Not Do Her Homework

So many parents get so bogged down in the homework issue that they forget about the most important thing of all: the relationship. Relating to your child with love and understanding is a million times more important than any particular homework assignment. . How much homework did Einstein do? Who knows? Who cares? He did not do very well in school. So instead of homework, he was probably doodling and daydreaming. Does your child doodle and daydream? Maybe he or she is another Einstein. . Many people do not know that when Mozart was a kid, his dad took him on several long trips. His dad intuitively knew that music was important to his son. He took his little son to major music centers so that he could meet composers, perform, attend concerts and see operas. One trip, when Mozart was 7 years old lasted 3 years! He and his dad visited all the major music centers of Western Europe. . Another trip, when he was 11 years old, lasted 15 months. He got to meet Johann Christian Bac

So You Want to Study Geometry

I am in my 60's and I am studying calculus and kinematics. I need them for some advanced work I am doing. You have my permission to study both basic and advanced at the same time.   One moment I'm looking at the Introduction to Electromagnetism by Griffiths or The Evolution of Physics by Albert Einstein, and the next moment it's The Isaac Newton School of Driving or Barrons's AP Physics. Remember "learning is s'posed to be fun." You know what--I really have benefited from Youtube videos. For calculus, PatrickJMT, Dereck Owens, That Tutor Guy, and Dr. Schuster have been very helpful. For kinematics, Mrs. Twu and Bozeman Science. I watch a video or two, and then go to that section in my book. Then back to the videos again. And so on.   But how about geometry? Geometry is somewhat overlooked. But luckily, there is Khan Academy to the rescue. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/geometry For trig Patrickjmt again  and also ProfRobBob  for trig identities
