  • Students' Understanding of Complex Numbers in Middle-Division Physics

    Creator:
    Smith, Emily M.
    Abstract:
    Mathematical sophistication increases rapidly as students transition from lower- to upper-division physics courses. Complex algebra is one of the mathematical tools that is not introduced or used in lower-division physics courses but is pervasive throughout upper-division courses. In this dissertation, I study middle-division physics students' developing fluency with complex number...
