Chelsea Kornbau, right, and Zachary Isey, left, Penn State York students in Physics 211, learned video-capture techniques as they collected video for analysis using their iPad. The students started the project by analyzing the simple motion of a golf ball tossed in the air. This project was funded by a Schreyer Institute Teaching Support Grant.
“When I Opened My Eyes – The Dwovian Encounter” is a new science fiction book by Karl "Kip" P. Trout, a faculty member at Penn State York. Trout’s book, released in late 2017, is a story about scientists on Earth struggling to save life on two planets from extinction.
Karl (Kip) P. Trout, lecturer in mathematics and physics at Penn State York, has written a new science fiction book, "When I Opened My Eyes - The Dwovian Encounter."
Celebrate all things Pi, and pie, on March 14 when Penn State York hosts its second annual campus-wide Pi Day from noon to 1:15 p.m. in the conference center of the Main Classroom Building.
Bruno Bombarda-Mantovani, right, a Penn State York student, takes a shot at reciting the most digits of Pi to Abul Hasan, a recently retired physicist at Penn State York. Bombarda-Mantovani was the contest winner. This year's Pi Day celebration on March 14 includes plenty of food, fun and contests.
