   "Pi for dessert" Mmmmmmm. Pi. Letâ**s end this day on a note of wonder. Itâ**s Pi Day! (March 14, or 3-14). Pi is an irrational numberâ*¦ it cannot be written as the ratio of two integers. Itâ**s a number that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its own diameter. It shows up everywhere when you try â*¦ Continue reading "Pi for dessert" http://s…

   "On your left" Today was a good running day. It was a really good running day. I donâ**t know what it was, but I havenâ**t felt this good running in a long time. One of my favorite on-screen gags occurs in the Marvel movie, â**Captain America: The Winter Soldier.â** At the opening of the film, super-soldier Steve Rogers is â*¦ Continue reading "On your left" http://…

    My institution announced today that classes will go fully online after Spring Break until April 5. I completed the transition to an all-digital classroom today, having anticipated this would happen. If my colleagues in @SMUPhysics need help in this, I stand ready to assist!

One thing we are seeing with increasing frequency in the U.S. is schools switching to â**online teachingâ** for the next several weeks (perhaps even for the rest of the terms this academic year). Below, I share some of my perspectives on strategies for â**online teachingâ** â** or, more â*¦ Conti…

    After two days of conducting online office hours (using Zoom), it's going fairly well. Not perfect. Sound internet camera quality on the student side has been an issue. But with my iPad as a whiteboard/notepad for scribbling/showing, it's been fairly useful.
