 ১. ব্যাক্তির অপরাধের দায় কখনোই সংগঠন নিবে না কারণ আমাদের আইনি প্রক্রিয়া এভাবে চলে না। কিন্তু যদি একটা সংগঠন এর অনেক সদস্য কোন নির্দিষ্ট অপরাধে যুক্ত থাকে তাহলে এটা নিয়ে আলোচনা উঠতে বাধ্য। তবে এই আলোচনা কে থামিয়ে দিয়ে উক্ত সংগঠন এর প্রতি অযৌক্তিক সমর্থন দেওয়াটা গ্রহণযোগ্য নয়। আর এটা যারা করছেন তাদের উদ্দেশ্য যে খুব সৎ নয়, সেটাও বলাই বাহুল্য

 ২. এই পূজার ছুটিতে Condensed Matter Physics নিয়ে পড়াশোনা আরেক্টূ আগিয়ে নিয়েছি। এখন যেই বই/আর্টিকেল গুলো পড়ছি সেগুলা হলঃ 

  •  Why More Is Different (Philosophical Issues in Condensed Matter Physics and Complex Systems) বইটাতে emergence এবং reductionism এর মত বিষয় গুলো নিয়ে সমসাময়িক আলোচনা করা হয়েছে
  • Quantum Noise by Zoller and Gardiner এই বইটা আমি কিছুদিন আগে Quantum Thermodynamics এর উপর যে স্কুল এ অংশগ্রহন করেছিলাম সেটাতে সাজেসটেড ছিল। এখন বইটা থেকে Quantum Langevin equation নিয়ে পড়াশোনা করছি। 

৩. গত পরশু থেকে Community of Physics এর একটা ওয়ার্কশপ শুরু হইছে। ওয়ারকশপ এ অংশগ্রহন করতে প্রচুর মানুষ এপ্লাই করলেও নিয়মিত ক্লাস ৩০ জনের বেশি করছে না। আসলে ফ্রি রেজিস্ট্রেশন এর সমস্যা আছে। মানুষ গুরুত্ব দেয় না শেষমেষ।

How Problem Solving Makes You An Active Learner

Newton was right, as I know it from experience. A few incidents have changed my mindset radically. One of them happened in BDPhO 2016 Dhaka regional.   I found interest in math and physics since my secondary school days. Actually, may be I was fond of these subjects because it took a lot less effort to score good in them. And, maybe because once any topic was understood, I didn't forget it. But, there was one problem. I was a passive learner. I only wandered in a limited region of the vast sea of knowledge. If I could understand a certain portion of the theory, it was OK for me. I never wanted to find out what's beyond the horizon of my comfort zone. I considered the ability of developing a scientific thought as a divine skill, then. Most of secondary school days were in a small town high school. So, there was no sign of math or physics Olympiad anywhere around. So, I was a frog living in a well, delighted under the illusion that I had good cover over phy...

A Note on Numerical Modelling of Stellar Structure Equations

-
 I wrote a expository paper with one of my classmates on numerical modelling of stellar structure equations. It was written for the purpose of paper presentation in my astrophysics course.  The abstract of the paper :  We discuss methods of calculating stellar parameter values from the usual stellar structure equations. Using polytropic assumption on the stellar structure equations, we will first derive the Lane-Emden equation. Afterwards, we will give some introductory level details on the numerical methods involved. Here's the link to the paper:  A Note on Numerical Modelling of Stellar Structure Equations

Why Study Analysis As A Physics Student

-

I started learning differential geometry without a sound base on calculus. Here's what happened afterwards. I was solving a problem on vector calculus from Lovett's  Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces . It involved solving a first order ODE but at first there was a square of the first derivative. All I had to do is take the square root of both sides and solve a very easy first order ODE. But, what I did was both funny and nonsense. I treated the square of the first derivative as a 2nd derivative and started solving a 2nd order ODE. To add more to the irony I sent the solution to a graduate student for feedback. Thus, the quote on the picture of the heading was born. And then he sent me a long reply on why should I study calculus with great rigor and details for a long time. I became agitated as I took it as an insult. I didn't think there was anything left for me to learn in "elementary" calculus and/or analysis. All the high sch...
