Highlights: Homework problems using dimensional analysis throughout the curriculum
Abstract: DA plays a fundamental conceptual role as a way to help students learn to blend physical concepts with mathematical representations. This requires a "phase transition" in student thinking - switching from thinking about variables as standing for numbers to standing for physical measurements. A good way to help them is to provide DA activities throughout the class. This section provides 45 problems appropriate for homework or in-class activities. There are problems for many topics throughout the class including some with biological or chemical implications. See the introduction and overview page and the list of problems.
Resource Types: Instructor supplement, Homework, Restricted access, Exam problem
