DESCRIPTION:The Leapfrog Language of Theoretical Physics: How breakthroughs
  were made\n\nThis is a seminar-course-style activity in which we read cla
 ssic theoretical physics papers and take turns presenting them. \n\nThe ai
 m of this activity is to critically examine how conceptual leaps in theore
 tical physics were made at the time of discovery. We will specifically foc
 us on associated changes in mathematical language.\n\nIn modern instructio
 n\, we learn about theoretical developments through pedagogical presentati
 on that can often appear almost natural. But the reason many new ideas wer
 e so consequential was that they were hardly natural at the time.  \n\nWe 
 will examine seminal papers and their connections to the contemporaneous l
 iterature\, aiming to address the following questions:\n\nWhat was the the
 oretical context and what mathematical language was in use before the brea
 kthrough development?How did scientists of the past tie ideas together wit
 h the mathematical language of the time to leapfrog to a new description? 
 What specifically about the modern presentation makes the physical content
  of the mathematical language easier to parse? Discussions will involve ph
 ysics material that is learned at the advanced undergraduate and graduate 
 levels.\n\nWe will meet in person Tu/Th 10-11AM in the Cosman Room (6C-442
 ). Partial attendance is encouraged! \n\nCoffee\, snacks\, and chalk will 
 be provided.
