Presented by a selection of first-year MPID rotation students.
Presented by Dr. Juliana Ranches, Assistant Professor at Oregon State University.
Dr. Raf Vandebril will be giving a colloquium on October 15, 2026 starting at 4:20pm in CUE 318 with refreshments and discussions in Neill Hall 216 starting at 3:15pm. In this talk we will transform the abstract theory of eigenvalues and eigenvectors to a real life device! The toy is simple, inexpensive, easy-to-build, easy-to-operate, and consists of a few balls and rope. The motion of these swinging balls will be used to demonstrate the physical reality of eigenvectors. We will demonstrate the device, link it to its mechanics, and analyze the mathematics to analyze the system. Furthermore, we will show some extra illustrations on a Practicum executed in Leuven, where a model of a shear building is excited.
