Researchers and practitioners increasingly consider a human-centered perspective in the design of machine learning-based applications, especially in the context of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). However, clear methodological…
This EPTCS volume contains the proceedings of the ThEdu'21 workshop, promoted on 11 July 2021, as a satellite event of CADE-28. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CADE-28 and all its co-located events happened as virtual events. ThEdu'21 was a…
Selected topics showcasing the exploration for new physics using colliders; presented at TASI 2001.
This article summarizes strategies and resources for teaching physics courses online on short notice.
We have successfully developed a technique to integrate an automatic event-generator generation system GRACE and a general-purpose event generator framework PYTHIA. The codes generated by GRACE are embedded in PYTHIA in the created event…
These lecture notes for the IAS/Park City Graduate Summer School in Geometric Combinatorics (July 2004) provide an overview of poset topology. These notes include introductory material, as well as recent developments and open problems. Some…
This article provides brief guidance for a successful graduate teaching assistantship at our school. Although the components mentioned in this article are primarily aimed at mathematics courses designated as the "Basic Science and…
In AI-rich higher education, polished written mathematics has become easier to produce than trustworthy evidence of understanding. This article develops a human-scale methodology for service mathematics, with informatics as its main running…
As the field of Quantum Computing continues to grow, so too has the general public's interest in testing some of the publicly available quantum computers. However, many might find learning all of the supplementary information that goes into…
Making use of Information and Communication Technology resources is deemed necessary for students. With this, they need to demonstrate their competence in using various technologies such as Prezi and PowerPoint to communicate effectively…
In scenarios that require teamwork, we usually have at hand a variety of specific tasks, for which we need to form a team in order to carry out each one. Here we target the problem of matching teams with tasks within the context of…
This volume contains the proceedings of the 4th workshop on Foundations of Interface Technologies (FIT 2012) which was collocated with ETAPS 2012 in Tallinn, Estonia, and took place on March 25, 2012. The aim of this workshop is to bring…
This is a set of lecture notes suitable for a Master's course on quantum computation and information from the perspective of theoretical computer science. The first version was written in 2011, with many extensions and improvements in…
Asynchronous learning environments (ALEs) are widely adopted for formal and informal learning, but timely and personalized support is often limited. In this context, Virtual Teaching Assistants (VTAs) can potentially reduce the workload of…
Several thoughts are presented on the long ongoing difficulties both students and academics face related to Calculus 101. Some of these thoughts may have a more general interest.
Student difficulties in learning Physics have been thoroughly discussed in the scientific literature. Already in 1980, Papert complained that schools teach Newtonian motion by manipulating equations rather than by manipulating the Newtonian…
Teachers of the visually impaired (TVIs) regularly present tactile materials (tactile graphics, 3D models, and real objects) to students with vision impairments. Researchers have been increasingly interested in designing tools to support…
