So you want to be an architect - Part 7
This is Part 7, and the final episode of So you Want to be an Architect. Architecture like many things is about many things and in this final part, an architect speaks to you about all of the different things that you may need to do to enter the field of architecture. (3:45)
8.251 String Theory for Undergraduates (MIT)
This course introduces string theory to undergraduate and is based upon Prof. Zwiebach's textbook entitled A First Course in String Theory. Since string theory is quantum mechanics of a relativistic string, the foundations of the subject can be explained to students exposed to both special relativity and basic quantum mechanics. This course develops the aspects of string theory and makes it accessible to students familiar with basic electromagnetism and statistical mechanics.
Why Is Carbon Important to Living Systems?
Carbon is important to living systems in that it is found in every
form of life, and it can form long chains of molecules that perform a
variety of functions. Discover carbon's importance in the formation of
DNA and RNA with help from a science teacher and field biologist in this video.
MALCOLM X: THE HOUSE NEGRO AND THE FIELD NEGRO
In this video Malcolm X is giving a speech explaining the difference that he sees between the "house negro" and the "field negro". Malcolm X is an amazing speaker, and this video showcases his talents.
MAS.965 NextLab I: Designing Mobile Technologies for the Next Billion Users (MIT)
Can you make a cellphone change the world? NextLab is a hands-on year-long design course in which students research, develop and deploy mobile technologies for the next billion mobile users in developing countries. Guided by real-world needs as observed by local partners, students work in multidisciplinary teams on term-long projects, closely collaborating with NGOs and communities at the local level, field practitioners, and experts in relevant fields. Students are expected to leverage technica
14.282 Organizational Economics (MIT)
This course in organizational economics prepares doctoral students for further study in the field. The course introduces the classic papers and some recent research. The material is organized into the following modules: boundaries of the firm, employment in organizations, decision-making in organizations, and structures and processes in organizations. Each class session covers a few leading papers.
This course was joint-taught between faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harv
18.735 Double Affine Hecke Algebras in Representation Theory, Combinatorics, Geometry, and Mathemati
Double affine Hecke algebras (DAHA), also called Cherednik algebras, and their representations appear in many contexts: integrable systems (Calogero-Moser and Ruijsenaars models), algebraic geometry (Hilbert schemes), orthogonal polynomials, Lie theory, quantum groups, etc. In this course we will review the basic theory of DAHA and their representations, emphasizing their connections with other subjects and open problems.
Virtual Field Trip to The Money Museum
Join Amanda for a virtual field trip to the Money Museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado and learn about coin collecting and the new Lincoln penny. In 2009, the United States Mint will mint and issue four
different one-cent coins in recognition of the bicentennial ( 200
years) of President Abraham Lincoln's birth and the 100th anniversary
of the first issuance of the Lincoln cent. Produced by Nick Jr. as part of its virtual field trip series, Meet Me at the Corner. Extended lear
Sock Seeds
The experiment demonstrated in this ZOOMSci video segment--wearing an old sock through a grassy or weedy field, planting the sock, and watching what grows--will not only give young scientists a better idea of the kinds of plants growing in their area, but will also help them begin to think about the evolutionary strategies of plants. Closed captioning included. Run time 03:00.
Plimoth Plantation
This video is a virtual field trip to Plymouth Plantation. Images are shown with music in the background and items are occasionally labeled with text. (Amateur video with slides and music but no narration)
Pneu Scooter: Motor Testing
Here are two of the first test-spins of the custom pneumatic wheel-motor for my latest scooter project. The motor is a three-phase brushless outrunner, designed for about 1600rpm at 33V and a peak torque of about 5ft-lbf.
The controller is also custom, a 48V/1kW field-oriented synchronous AC drive that still has some software? glitches to work out. More info: http://scolton.blogspot.com/search/label/scooter.
Vector Fields and Hydrodynamics
At first glance, replacing the old idea of action at a distance by the new idea of the field of force seems to e an exercise in semantics. But it isn't, because fields have definite properties of their own suitable for scientific study. For example, electric fields are different in form from magnetic fields, and both kinds can better be understood by analogy to field of
Kwame Dawes on approaches to treating HIV/AIDS in Haiti
Poet and reporter Kwame Dawes discusses the tensions between two different schools of thought on how best to address the problem of HIV/AIDS in Haiti. One approaches the disease as a part of a continuum of interconnected health issues, the other as a unique problem in need of isolated solutions specific to the disease. This is the first in a series of video diaries recorded in the field by Andre Lambertson. See all related reporting from this reporting project, including poetry, photography and

Woman in horse-drawn carriage, Los Angeles
An older woman sits in a horse-drawn carriage that is stopped in front of the Boynton house at 836 S. Bonnie Brae Street in Los Angeles. She is holding the reigns and a whip in her hands. Two cement steps are built into the sidewalk to help passengers get into carriages. A number of houses can be seen in the background and a sign across the street advertises an empty lot for sale.
