Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Automated Meshing Philosophy?
Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Automated Meshing Philosophy? Peter Rodgers Fairy tales are a well-established way to convey science and technology education. For example, a recent textbook [1] has documented how a range of Victorian-era (1837 – 1901) instructors used fairies and their tales to clarify scientific and technological concepts for young audiences. Today, … [Read more...]
