Between last year when I took the course myself and now when I am a TA/TF, his mental acuity and health has declined significantly. He has essentially no short-term memory, tremors, and can't follow c...
My research involves playing sounds to people. I just read an article that has a large and prominent disclaimer from the publisher that basically says that despite the experiment being approved by 2 IRBs, the NIH, and the FDA, that it is so dangerous that nothing like it should ever be tried again.
I'm about to give a first-semester calculus lecture covering the mean value theorem for integrals:
If $f$ is continuous on $[a,b]$, then there is some $c\in(a,b)$ such that $(b-a)f(c)=\int_a^b f(x)\,dx$.
In past semesters, I've shown examples in which I confirm that this theorem holds for some ...
@Ric they played music at a level/duration just above the OSHA limits. The issue is that the basis of the OSHA limits do not take into account a newly discovered form of delayed hearing damage. Basically, everything we (and the experimenters) know says that they caused these subjects permanent damage.
