June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

13. LoudnessLoudness
loudness: a subjective evaluation of a sound. Most closely
related to the pressure amplitude of a sound.
pressure amplitude: the change in pressure from a
condensation to a rarefaction.
A typical pressure amplitude for human speech is 0.03 Pa.
Typical air pressure is 101,000 Pa. The eardrum is a very
sensitive instrument.
A sound with a big pressure amplitude is interpreted as a
loud sound.

16. FrequencyFrequency && PitchPitch
Just as the amplitude of a sound wave relates to its
loudness, the frequency of the wave relates to its pitch.
The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency. The
frequency you hear is just the number of wavefronts that
hit your eardrums in a unit of time. Wavelength doesn’t
necessarily correspond to pitch because, even if wavefronts
are very close together, if the wave is slow moving, not
many wavefronts will hit you each second.
Frequency ↔ Pitch
Amplitude ↔ Loudness
17. PitchPitch
pitch: a subjective evaluation of a sound. Most
closely related to the frequency of the sound.
A sound with a high frequency will sound like a high

20. Thunder and LightningThunder and Lightning
If you see a flash of lightning,
and count the number of seconds until you hear the thunder,
you can figure out how far away the lightning is.
How?
21. The Human EarThe Human Ear
The exterior part of the ear (the auricle, or pinna) is made of cartilage
and helps funnel sound waves into the auditory canal, which has wax
fibers to protect the ear from dirt. At the end of the auditory canal lies
the eardrum (tympanic membrane), which vibrates with the incoming
sound waves and transmits these vibrations along three tiny bones
(ossicles) called the hammer, anvil, and stirrup (malleus, incus, and
stapes). The little stapes bone is attached to the oval window, a
membrane of the cochlea.
The cochlea is a coil that converts the vibrations it receives into
electrical impulses and sends them to the brain via the auditory nerve.
Delicate hairs (stereocilia) in the cochlea are responsible for this signal
conversion. These hairs are easily damaged by loud noises, a major
cause of hearing loss!
The semicircular canals help maintain balance, but do not aid hearing.
24. Range of Human HearingRange of Human Hearing
The maximum range of frequencies for most people is from about
20 to 20 thousand hertz. This means if the number of high pressure
fronts (wavefronts) hitting our eardrums each second is from 20 to
20 000, then the sound may be detectable. If you listen to loud
music often, you’ll probably find that your range (bandwidth) will
be diminished.
Some animals, like dogs and some fish, can hear frequencies that are
higher than what humans can hear (ultrasound). Bats and dolphins
use ultrasound to locate prey (echolocation). Doctors make use of
ultrasound for imaging fetuses and breaking up kidney stones.
Elephants and some whales can communicate over vast distances
with sound waves too low in pitch for us to hear (infrasound).
25. EchoesEchoes && ReverberationReverberation
An echo is simply a reflected sound wave. Echoes are more
noticeable if you are out in the open except for a distant, large
object. If went out to the dessert and yelled, you might hear a
distant canyon yell back at you. The time between your yell
and hearing your echo depends on the speed of sound and on
the distance to the to the canyon. In fact, if you know the
speed of sound, you can easily calculate the distance just by
timing the delay of your echo.
Reverberation is the repeated reflection of sound at close
quarters. If you were to yell while inside a narrow tunnel, your
reflected sound waves would bounce back to your ears so
quickly that your brain wouldn’t be able to distinguish between
the original yell and its reflection. It would sound like a single
yell of slightly longer duration.
26. SonarSonar
SOund NAvigation and Ranging
In addition to locating prey, bats and dolphins use sound waves
for navigational purposes. Submarines do this too. The
principle is to send out sound waves and listen for echoes. The
longer it takes an echo to return, the farther away the object that
reflected those waves. Sonar is used in commercial fishing boats
to find schools of fish. Scientists use it to map the ocean floor.
Special glasses that make use of sonar can help blind people by
producing sounds of different pitches depending on how close an
obstacle is.
If radio (low frequency light) waves are used instead of sound
in an instrument, we call it radar (radio detection and ranging).
27. Sonic BoomsSonic Booms
When a source of sound is moving at the
speed of sound, the wavefronts pile up on
top of each other. This makes their
combined amplitude very large, resulting in
a shock wave and a sonic boom. At
supersonic speeds a “Mach cone” is formed.
The faster the source compared to sound, the
smaller the shock wave angle will be.
29. The Doppler EffectThe Doppler Effect
The Doppler Effect is the change in frequency (pitch) of the
sound detected by an observer because the sound source
and the observer have different velocities with respect to the
medium of sound propagation.
The Doppler Effect describes why the pitch of a siren that is
approaching you sounds higher than the pitch of a siren that
is moving away from you.
30. The Doppler EffectThe Doppler Effect
Moving SOURCE
Approaching observer
If the source of the sound (the fire truck, for example) is
moving towards an observer, the sound waves “bunch up” in
front of the source, causing the wavelength observed by a
stationary person to shorten.
(Smaller wavelengths, bigger frequency.)
Receding from observer
Behind the source, the sound waves “stretch out”, and the
wavelength observed by a stationary person lengthens.
(Bigger wavelength, smaller frequency.)
31. Doppler EffectDoppler Effect
A tone is not always heard at the same frequency at which it is
emitted. When a train sounds its horn as it passes by, the pitch of
the horn changes from high to low. Any time there is relative
motion between the source of a sound and the receiver of it, there is
a difference between the actual frequency and the observed
frequency. This is called the Doppler effect. Click to hear effect:
The Doppler effect applied to electomagnetic waves helps
meteorologists to predict weather, allows astronomers to estimate
distances to remote galaxies, and aids police officers catch you
speeding.
The Doppler effect applied to ultrasound is used by doctors to
measure the speed of blood in blood vessels, just like a cop’s radar
gun. The faster the blood cell are moving toward the doc, the greater
the reflected frequency.
Editor's Notes
Have formulas in book that calculate this exactly, will not cover in class, but will use for a conceptual problem.
v (light) = 300000000 m/s v (sound) = 343 m/s (light is just about instantaneous) one mile = 1.6 x 10 3 m v = del(x) / t t = del(x) / v = 1.6 x 103 m / 343 m/s = 5 sec so for every 5 sec, the lightning is 1 mile away.
