Articles, reflections, and conceptual explorations in mathematics and physics
This section features original reflections, brief articles, and conceptual explorations in mathematics and physics.
The goal is not direct instruction, but to share perspectives, stimulate thought, and highlight interesting questions and structures that go beyond traditional teaching formats.
🌀 The Structure of the Lorenz Attractor
A geometric and topological overview of the Lorenz attractor, based on the formal 1979 model by R. F. Williams. Includes a full animation of 50 diverging trajectories generated with Manim.
📚 Galileo and Parabolic Motion
This master’s thesis explores the historical and didactic role of mathematical proof in physics,
with a focus on Galileo’s demonstration of parabolic motion.
Developed within the European project IDENTITIES, it reflects on the interplay between mathematics, physics, and education — both conceptually and historically.
Key topics include:
- The evolution of the idea of proof from antiquity to modern science
- The role of mathematical reasoning in physics teaching
- Epistemological reflections and interdisciplinary didactics
- A teaching module and a qualitative study on pre-service teacher awareness
