A Pharmacology-Based Enrichment Program for Undergraduates Promotes Interest in Science

There is a strong need to increase the number of undergraduate students who pursue careers in science to provide the "fuel" that will power a science and technology-driven U.S. economy. Prior research suggests that both evidence-based teaching methods and early undergraduate research experiences may help to increase retention rates in the sciences. In this study, we examined the effect of a pro...

Cuckoo Hashing for Undergraduates

This lecture note presents and analyses two simple hashing algorithms: “Hashing with Chaining”, and “Cuckoo Hashing”. The analysis uses only very basic (and intuitively understandable) concepts of probability theory, and is meant to be accessible even for undergraduates taking their first algorithms course.

Optical trapping for undergraduates

The detailed design of a robust and inexpensive optical trap system is presented. The system features high-sensitivity back focal plane position detection, mechanically controlled specimen stage movement, and fluorescence imaging to provide broad experimental applications. Three educational experimental modules are described to cover basic concepts in optical trapping and biophysics at a level ...
