  • Latin Vocabulary: Familia (Family Members)

    It's time for more Latin vocabulary! Let's learn to name all the members of the family in Latin. Yes, even your mother-in-law.

  • Logarithms Part 1: Evaluation of Logs and Graphing Logarithmic Functions

    What are logs? No not like the ones from trees, silly! We need to know about logarithms. They represent the inverse operation of exponentiation. How do they work? How do we evaluate them? How do we graph them? Let's go through the basics now.

  • Newton's Third Law of Motion: Action and Reaction

    Are you tired of Newton's laws of motion yet? Well, lucky you, this is the last one. And it's the most misunderstood as well! People love making inappropriate metaphors with scientific principles, unfortunately. Watch this to make sure you don't do the same!

  • Wacker Reaction and Related Chemistry

    We learned how to make linear aldehydes through hydroformylation, but the smallest aldehyde that can be produced this way is propanal. What about acetaldehyde? That is produced through the Wacker reaction. Let's learn all about this process!

  • Newton's Second Law of Motion: F = ma

    One of the best things about Newton was the way that he showed how natural phenomena abide by rigid mathematical principles. So much so that we can use mathematical equations to calculate how objects will actually behave. This equation, F = ma, looks pretty tame, but it packs a punch!

    We know how to record fingerprints, but how do we analyze them? Two important techniques will be ridge counting and ridge tracing. How does that work? Let's find out!

  • Newton's First Law of Motion: Mass and Inertia

    Did you know that if you throw a rock in space, whatever velocity it has at the moment that it leaves your hand, it will continue moving with that velocity indefinitely? That's Newton's first law. It applies to objects on earth as well, it's just that earth's atmosphere complicates matters. Get the full breakdown here!

  • Bret Weinstein and Tucker Carlson Have a Playdate

    Bret Weinstein and Tucker Carlson both suck a lot, clearly. So what happens when they get together? Does the suckiness compound exponentially? It does, in fact. From Tucker continuing to fumble 9th grade biology principles while Bret does absolutely nothing to set him straight, to vomiting up super racist toddler takes on the Middle East, let's point and laugh at these douchebags together, so we can feel like the world isn't going up in flames for an hour.

  • Linear Second-Order Differential Equations Part 1: Homogeneous Case

    After a number of tutorials covering first-order differential equations, it's time to start tackling second-order differential equations. These contain a second derivative term, and they are quite useful in physics. To introduce these, let's first examine the simplest case, a linear homogenous second-order differential equation that exhibits constant coefficients. To solve these we will need to find a characteristic equation and do some algebra, a process which will vary depending on whether we are dealing with real distinct roots, complex roots, or a repeated root. Let's take a look!

  • Particle Decay Rates and Cross Sections

    To substantiate the Standard Model of Particle Physics, we look for certain kinds of particle interactions and other events, including particle decay. Why do decay events produce the kinds of particles they produce, and why do particles decay at all? It's a complicated question, but let's talk about it!
