Solution method and error evolution of student responses to chain rule problems within a thermodynamics course

Creator:

Founds, Ian, W and Founds, Ian W.

Abstract:

Chain rules are critical to the process of solving many thermodynamics-related partial derivatives. This study evaluates the solution method and error evolution of students’ responses to a pair of chain rule problems in an upper-level undergraduate thermodynamics course. Students’ responses were categorized by solution method. Students’ solution methods included implicit...

Undergraduate Thesis
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...

Dissertation
Student & textbook presentation of divergence

Creator:

Smith, Emily M.

Abstract:

This thesis explores student understanding of divergence in physics settings. The various uses of divergence in physics are detailed. Textbook approaches to divergence are categorized as geometric, curvilinear coordinate, discussion-based, and algebraic statement. Textbook approaches to the divergence theorem are categorized as geometric, equivalent integrals, mathematical statement with explanation, and...

Geometric reasoning in an active-engagement upper-division E&M classroom

Creator:

Cerny, Leonard Thomas

Abstract:

A combination of theoretical perspectives is used to create a rich description of student reasoning when facing a highly-geometric electricity and magnetism problem in an upper-division active-engagement physics classroom at Oregon State University. Geometric reasoning as students encounter problem situations ranging from familiar to novel is described using van Zee...

Dissertation
A case study of how upper-division physics students use visualization while solving electrostatics problems

Creator:

Browne, Kerry P.

Abstract:

Presented here is a case study of the problem-solving behaviors of upper-division undergraduate physics majors. This study explores the role of visual representations in students' problem solving and provides a foundation for investigating how students' use of visualization changes in the upper-division physics major. Three independent studies were conducted on...
