====How to select username====
Your account will span [[Main Page|Wikiversity]], [[w:Main Page|Wikipedia]], [[c:Main Page|Commons]], and [[b:Main Page|Wikibooks]].
# No username can be anonymous on this campus. Your classmates will likely discover your identity. One option is to quasi-violate Wikimedia policy and have a "public" username, and different private one. 
# You are advised not to worry about previous consideration and pick a "permanent" username that you might use for the rest of your life. Pick an unembarassing username that not too long, avoid spaces and other odd symbols.
*You have three good choices for your password:
#Use one you already know
#Use one that you might forget, but give me the password. (Never give your "important" passwords to anybody; but keep in mind that very little harm is done if you give me your password
#Use one that you might forget, but give them your email address. I am not certain, but it is my understanding that Wikimedia will retrieve your password if they have your email address.

===12-Sep Lab: Malus law by hand (error analysis)===
In this lab we will understand the process by which two polarizers block energy. It can be shown that the amount of energy that passes is proportional to the square of the projection ratio, where the projection is known as [[w:vector projection]]. We will do this by hand and discuss the random error, averaged over the entire class.
# Learn to: divide into 8 parts, make 30, 45, and 60 degrees.
# Find the square root of the pass ratio at 30 degrees (it's just the projection for unit hypothesis).

Online wikitable maker at http://mlei.net/shared/tool/csv-wiki.htm

The bottom row shows the weighted averages and the standard deviation of the calculated pass rate from the data collected in class. We got the pass rate to be 86.4% ±9.8%.

*Ideas for projects (keep in mind that most students will get As or Bs on their projects if they show decent effort, and also that its only worth 10% of the grade.  But ... on rare occasions, one or two students have substitued an outstanding project for poor test scores.

====#2 Why we need other wikis besides Wikipedia====
From [[w:Special:Permalink/742281755#High_positive_void_coefficient|RBMK#High_positive_void_coefficient]] we have:

<blockquote>Because of this lower density (of mass, and consequently of atom nuclei able to absorb neutrons), light water's neutron-absorption capability practically disappears when it boils. This allows more neutrons to fission more U-235 nuclei and thereby increase the reactor power, which leads to higher temperatures that boil even more water, creating a thermal [[w:positive feedback|feedback loop]]. </blockquote>Assignment: Rewrite this paragraph.  Assume knoledge of positive feedback.

What goes wrong: water boils to too much steam.

Reactor gets hotter, and a hotter reactor boils more water.

Why does more steam (i.e. less water) cause the reactor to burn hotter?

The water absorbs the neutrons, thereby allowing more neutrons to induce fission.

[[File:Sasahara.svg|thumb|100px|Breeder reactors:  Starting at uranium-238 (the "useless" isotope), the neutron capture creates isotopes of plutonium, americium, and curium.  All of these isotopes can burned as fuel if the reactor is designed to be a [[w:Breeder reactor|Breeder reactor]] ]]

====Thursday's lab====
#Go to [[c:Main_Page|'''commons''']] select a jpg or png image and place in dropbox 2 of Pilot phy1050.
#Spend 30 minutes trying to get info on why a country like Iran with "peaceful" nuclear energy program can so easily convert it into a weapon's program.  Here is my confusion:  The ability to enhance natural urnanium to reactor grade leads automatically to the ability to create  the much higher weapon's grade uranium.  I also know that nuclear power plants can be used to "breed" weapons grade plutonium.  Put your 30 minutes of effort either on your .S page, or in dropbox 3 which will be creatd in 7 minutes.

====Breeders versus refinement in nuclear proliferation====
What do we know about Breeder reactor technology and nuclear proliferation?  Do "newbies" in the nuclear club "breed" the fissile material or do they refine the Uranium 238 ore to extract the U-235?  I googled <code>nuclear proliferation plutonium vs uranium</code> and got this from '''[https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm MITOpenCourseWare]'''. Thank-you MIT!

====How many piano tuners?====
The population of Celina was 10,376 in 2013 and the popululation of Mercer county  was 40,784.  How many dentists are there in Celina?  See [[w:Fermi question]], and also my "equation" approach:
<math>
\frac{x_1 \,persons}{1 \,Celina}\cdot=
\frac{x_1 \,persons}{1 \,Celina}\cdot
\frac{x_2 \,visits/year }{person}\cdot
\frac{1 dentist}{x_3 \, visits/day}\cdot
\frac{year}{x_4 \, days}=
\frac{?\,dentists}{Celina}
</math>
:<math>? = \frac{x_1x_2}{x_3x_4}</math>

====How far south do you need to move to raise the average temperature by 1 degree (F)?====
5/160 deg/mile = 1 deg/32 miles.  Rough estimate for future growth 3F/century = 3/100 deg/year = 1/30 deg/year

*Thursday: I alway find simple arguments worth thinking about, especially when those making the arguments do not attempt to overstate their case.  Two such arguments can be found in a [http://www.wright.edu/~guy.vandegrift/climateblog climateblog] I once kept.  The arguments were made many years ago, and  Muller, who seems to be an honest broker in this debate does not seem to be convinced by these arguments in recent years:
#[http://www.wright.edu/~guy.vandegrift/climateblog/s06/akasofu.LIAge.pdf Akasofu and recovery from the "Little Ice Age"].  Note the relevence of [http://www.wright.edu/~guy.vandegrift/climateblog/s06/littleiceagesmall.jpg Akasofu's graph] to [[w:Special:Permalink/746392534#Trends|this misleading graph]] that is still on Wikipedia. Note also that the unexplained rises and dips continue to the very end of [[w:Special:Permalink/746392534|this (first and correct) graph]] on the same Wikipedia article.
#[http://www.wright.edu/~guy.vandegrift/climateblog/s06/PALTRIDGE.pdf Paltridge: feedback uncertainty] When the graph of a prediction is of a certain form, you can't trust the results.  We will consider finding the area and volume of a unit square and cube to understand this effect.

Thank the editor for his advice (really kiss a$$ here and be sure to include a link to the page.).  Then write a caption and/or text for the image and let's play it safe and put it on the talk page, along with a sisterinterline to our course page.
