Voyage autour (et à l'intérieur) d'un trou noir
Conférence donnée à l'IAP le 3 janvier 2012 par Alain Riazuelo, astrophysicien à l'IAP.
À quoi ressemble un trou noir ? Curieusement, les scientifiques ont mis beaucoup de temps avant de chercher une réponse à cette question, alors même que les trous noirs font partie des objets les plus extrêmes et les plus déroutants de l'Univers et que les moyens informatiques modernes permettent d'y apporter de nombreux éléments de réponse.

Analytical Techniques for Studying Environmental and Geologic Samples, Spring 2011
This is a laboratory course supplemented by lectures that focus on selected analytical facilities that are commonly used to determine the mineralogy, elemental abundance and isotopic ratios of Sr and Pb in rocks, soils, sediments and water.
Intro to Chemistry: 10.2 Strong and Weak Acids and Bases (1/2)
Join award winning teachers Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams as they interactively teach Chemistry: 10.2 Strong and Weak Acids and Bases. This video explains the dissociation of acids and bases. Strong acids completely dissociate, or split into ions. Weak acids partially dissociate. ( 8:00)
Discrete Stochastic Processes, Spring 2011
Discrete stochastic processes are essentially probabilistic systems that evolve in time via random changes occurring at discrete fixed or random intervals. This course aims to help students acquire both the mathematical principles and the intuition necessary to create, analyze, and understand insightful models for a broad range of these processes. The range of areas for which discrete stochastic-process models are useful is constantly expanding, and includes many applications in engineering, ph

Scope on the Skies: Urban Legends
Urban legends become widespread from people simply not asking “Are you sure?” or looking into the topic and learning more before making a decision. But urban legends are also a great way to teach students to become good questioners—skeptics if you will—whenever they hear or read about these kinds of claims. A recent urban legend is generating interest due in large part to statements made by doomsday predictors, news media, and—coming to a theater near you—a movie celebrating our demi
