Symmetry
Through real life examples and animation, this video shows students that when an object is symmetrical, it has the property of symmetry and that the line of symmetry is the line of reflection. Students will come to understand that many...

Symmetries & Groups - Professor Raymond Flood
One of the most important patterns that a mathematician looks for is whether or not an object has symmetries i.e. is left unchanged or invariant after some operation, for example reflection or rotation. A square has many symmetries under...

Genetic Drift
Paul Andersen describes genetic drift as a mechanism for evolutionary change. A population genetics simulator is used to show the importance of large population size in neutralizing random change. The near extinction of the northern...
