Based on 5.601 Thermodynamics I, this course introduces learners to fundamental concepts in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Learners will develop an understanding of fundamental thermodynamic principles and how they arise from molecular scale system properties.
Experience the world at the molecular-level! Learn about spontaneity, equilibrium, and mechanisms and rates of reactions. Applications include the energy problem, acid/base chemistry, electrochemistry and batteries, climate science, catalysis, and more.
In this revised course, fundamental and modern approaches to Japanese structural design will be explained using historical overviews and Tokyo-Tech’s campus buildings as case studies. Learners will be able to interpret and apply seismic design concepts like energy-dissipating braced frames, spine frames, seismic retrofit, seismic isolation and seismic design of spatial structures. Drawing from the instructor’s past 20 years of experience in design, considerations to sustainability, practical complexities and their solutions will be presented using the campus buildings as design examples with immersive 360-degree interactive videos. Learners will also get an insight into the architect-engineer collaboration through interviews with architectural professors.
In the past few decades, China's cities have experienced a period of rapid development. Emerging big data and open data have provided new opportunities for urban studies and observers to better observe and understand these changes. This course combines both the new data generated for urban analysis and its research applications. The content ranges from big data acquisition, analysis, visualization and applications in the context of China’s urban planning, to urban modeling methods and typical models, as well as the emerging trend and potential revolution of big data in urban planning.
This course is for members of the Stanford Medicine community. Valid Stanford login is required to acess some of the content in this course.
This course was created to facilitate more meaningful consultations between librarians and Stanford Medicine community members interested in conducting systematic reviews. It opens with a definition of the necessary requirements for a systematic review and comparison between systematic review methodologies and those of other types of reviews.
Discover how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare in this exciting course. The added value of AI for healthcare is explained from the healthcare professional's perspective, while basic AI principles are clarified from the AI developer's point of view.
Music theory is often perceived as difficult to understand, and solfege is seen as a complex learning process. These courses aim to change this perspective by proposing a dynamic method that, from the start, associates music theory to the sounds it represents. The many video presentations will be accompanied by activities and exercises that will allow you to develop the skills needed to read musical texts.

La théorie musicale est souvent perçue comme étant difficile à comprendre, et le solfège comme un apprentissage complexe. Ces cours ont pour but de changer cette perspective en vous proposant une méthode dynamique associant dès les premiers instants la théorie musicale aux sons qu’elle représente. En plus des nombreuses capsules vidéos animées qui vous seront présentées, des activités et des exerciseurs vous permettront de développer les réflexes nécessaires à la lecture de textes musicaux.
The string quartet can be defined in several ways. At the most basic level the musical term refers to the medium of four string instruments: two violins, viola, and violoncello. It can also be used to describe the collective identity of the instrumentalists themselves, in particular established professional ensembles. One such ensemble is the St. Lawrence String Quartet, Stanford University’s celebrated ensemble-in-residence, whose members are featured in this course, performing in Stanford’s 842-seat Bing Concert Hall as well as in that splendid facility’s smaller studio space.
