Learning in many ways
There are a couple of sayings Jake uses in Thermo — “Once you know entropy, it’s irreversible.” “The irony of entropy is that there are so many ways of understanding it.”
In this section we’ve included links to the course materials in many of his classes. But that’s just the beginning. We came to a research university not for the classes, but to apply those classes through real hands-on research. The learning curve to get involved in HYPER research is steep. So we’ve included a lot of the information and trainings here.
