The International Society for Technology in Education has for years proposed dedicated curricula that focus on the digital citizen: skills that include being safe online\, securing your digital footprint\, and how to critically evaluate the content we read online.  This discussion will focus on the skills and practical strategies that both students and educators can employ to engage in positive and productive discourse that moves beyond what is fake and what is polarizing. \nVWBPE Program URL:https://sciencecircle.org/event/vwbpe/ LOCATION:VWBPE ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sciencecircle.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/March-16.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240317T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240317T080000 DTSTAMP:20260414T173629 CREATED:20240218T150935Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240218T150935Z UID:13103-1710658800-1710662400@sciencecircle.org SUMMARY:Classical Concert DESCRIPTION: URL:https://sciencecircle.org/event/cc-94/ LOCATION:The Lighthouse Café ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sciencecircle.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Concerts-PDT.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240318T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240318T110000 DTSTAMP:20260414T173629 CREATED:20240228T174839Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240228T174839Z UID:13144-1710756000-1710759600@sciencecircle.org SUMMARY:Moon Base meeting DESCRIPTION: URL:https://sciencecircle.org/event/moon-base-5/ LOCATION:Moon base ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sciencecircle.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Moon-base-PST.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240321T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240321T170000 DTSTAMP:20260414T173629 CREATED:20240218T151818Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240218T151818Z UID:13115-1711036800-1711040400@sciencecircle.org SUMMARY:Mathematics Club DESCRIPTION: URL:https://sciencecircle.org/event/maths-club-39/ LOCATION:Maths Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sciencecircle.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Maths-pdt.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240323T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240323T110000 DTSTAMP:20260414T173629 CREATED:20240221T090238Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240221T091026Z UID:13123-1711188000-1711191600@sciencecircle.org SUMMARY:Who is Emmy Noether & Why Have You Never Heard of Her? DESCRIPTION:WHO IS EMMY NOETHER & WHY HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF HER?\nTrail Guide: Tagline – a.k.a. Robert Hendrix \n  \nDid you know that Saturday March 23rd\, 2024 is World Maths Day?  A tradition since 2007\, millions of students from 240 countries and territories around the world are participating.  \nQuite appropriately\, that date also happens to be the birthday of one of the greatest mathematicians in human history\, Amalie Emmy Noether\, PhD (pronounced NOY-ter).  Furthermore\, Dr. Noether is widely considered to be the number one\, greatest female mathematician in the history of mathematics.   \n    So why do you not know about her already? \nEmmy Noether was the “go to” person for other scientific geniuses for her depth of understanding of INVARIANCE\, and is known for having “put it all together” with her deep\, encompassing concepts in modern ABSTRACT ALGEBRA\, particularly with regard to Noether Rings and Modules\, as well as \nNON-COMMUTATIVE ALGEBRAS\, in which ORDER MATTERS IN MULTIPLICATION OF PAIRS OF ELEMENTS\, i.e.\, \nA  x  C  ≠  C  x  A   \nAside from her seminal\, creative work in the foundations of modern mathematics\, Dr. Noether also developed FUNDAMENTAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO FIRST and SECOND NOETHER THEOREMS of MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS in which she shared her deep insights into the natural universe by proving the equivalence of CONSERVATION LAWS with inherent SYMMETRY in Space and / or Time. This has provided a powerful tool to physics right up to quantum dynamics and current work on SUPERSYMMETRY.\nWe will discuss these intellectual achievements by a general\, heuristic approach. And we will explore her life to better understand where such extraordinarily creative humans come from and how they are sometimes capable of pervasive impacts on the world\, even in the worst of circumstances. \nFinally\, we will discuss the first great woman ever of mathematical history\, Hypatia. As one of the last great thinkers of ancient Alexandria\, Hypatia studied and taught mathematics\, astronomy\, and \nNeoplatonist philosophy.  Hypatia is credited with the invention of the Astrolabe as an astronomical instrument. \nIn 380 CE\, Christianity was proclaimed the official state religion of the Roman Empire. Though Hypatia was very popular among the people of Alexandria\, she was regarded as a heretical pagan by zealots of the early church. In March 415 CE\, a mob of Christian monks under direction of Bishop Cyrus of Alexandria attacked Hypatia\, dragged her into a church and brutally tortured and murdered her. \n  \n \n  \nHypatia was the last of the Alexandria school of philosophy. Her death was an ominous setback for progress in civilization. Subsequently\, the decaying western Roman Empire fell in 476 CE\, and the stagnation of Dark Ages began in Europe. \nWORLD MATHS DAY           Saturday 23.

Log in 15 minutes early because you need to download something. The film is 2 hours long and is on Blu-ray. Grab your popcorn\, cup of tea or whatever you like… let’s enjoy and dive into a dark part of the history of science. \nMembers Only event!
