In this video, I present one of the most influential formulations of classical physics — Hamiltonian mechanics. This is a walk through the birth of Hamiltonian mechanics and how Hamilton extended Lagrange’s work into a new, elegant formulation that would go on to influence quantum theory, statistical mechanics, and dynamical systems.

In this video, I present an overview of symmetries in physics, passive vs. active transformations, and how to derive Noether’s theorem from the Euler-Lagrange equations. Different examples are presented in detail to show how the invariance under specific symmetries can be used to construct conserved quantities.

A brief history and derivation of Lagrangian mechanics from Newtonian mechanics.

Even a killer rhythm pattern won’t make the grade if it’s played with lacklustre sounds. In the concluding part of this series, Nicholas Rowland puts on his sound designer’s head and explains how you can re-tread your tired timbres…

This is a lecture about the metaethical terminology used by Shafer-Landau in chapter 3 of his book, “Whatever Happened to Good and Evil?” The theories distinguished include: moral objectivism, moral skepticism, cultural moral relativism, moral subjectivism, error theory (about moral discourse), and non-cognitivism (about moral discourse). It is part of an introductory level philosophy course, Introduction to Ethics, in the Metaethics unit of that course.
