Recently, Lima lamented on the 'time-consuming and tiresome' pedagogical nature of repeated integration by parts, throwing down the challenge of providing a pencil-and-paper solution to a related problem in a few seconds. Lima put forth a simple formula as an alternative. In this work, I offer a response to Lima's challenge and his formula.…

In the last decade the number of new higher education enrollments per year faced a 66% increase, from 2.2 million enrollments in 2010 compared to 3.6 million enrollments in 2019. This growth is concentrated in the distance learning courses, which boomed 379% in the period and is expected to maintain this trend until become the main higher…

This research paper presents the outcomes of a change in the teaching and learning practices from a traditional lecture-based method to a Problem Based Learning (PBL) curriculum in the undergraduate Logistics & Transportation (L&T) course at the Federal University of Itajubá (UNIFEI), Brazil. Detailed PBL practices adoption and the…

Einstein's relation between mass and energy is perhaps the most famous equation of Physics. Despite its simplicity, the meaning of E[subscript 0] = mc[superscript 2] is not easy to grasp. Furthermore, its traditional derivations rely either on the integral of "momentum," on properties of electromagnetic radiation, or even on the…

This study explored how 18 Student Leaders of Color (SLOC), mostly Black and Latinx students, navigated racial battle fatigue (RBF) as student leaders at a regional master's comprehensive university in New England and a large public research institution in the Southeast. This study applied RBF as a conceptual framework to explore how SLOC…

In this note, I present an 'easy-to-be-remembered' shortcut for promptly solving the ubiquitous integral [line integral] x[superscript n] e[superscript alpha x] dx for any integer n>0 using only the successive derivatives of x[superscript n]. Some interesting applications are indicated. The shortcut is so simple that it could well be included…
