  Ladder operators, Holstein-Primakoff transformation, spinwaves dispersion relation.
• Short History of the Ising Model (Bachelor project).
  No Nobel Prize was ever awarded for the development of the Ising model, however its history is the more fascinating.
• Spinwaves on a Honeycomb Lattice (Bachelor project).
  Ladder operators, Holstein-Primakoff transformation, spinwaves dispersion relation.
• The Phases of Argon (Bachelor project).
  Cute Virtual Molecular Dynamics with the Lennard-Jones potential. A C-accelerated Python code developed with Christos Kourris for this project may be found here.
• Chaos within the Restricted Three-body problem: Even & Uneven masses.
  A neat illustration of sensitive dependence on initial conditions within the gravitational three-body problem that I produced during my TREND REU at the University of Maryland, 2018.

  I developed these rough materials during a course of 8 lessons that I taught at the Gemeentelijk Gymnasium Hilversum from April-June 2021. The materials were used during the first four lessons, after which ad-hoc app development began within the Kivy framework. Students were encouraged to learn the language in order to apply it in their own creative pursuits.

  The workshop sheets especially are useful as practice material for beginners:
  Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 3, Sheet 4.

  The teacher's guide gives some guidance & structure for learning: Teacher's guide.

  Lesson plans (less structured, being written specifically for my own use):
  Plan 1, Plan 2, Plan 3, Plan 4.

  Useful resources for programming in Kivy: I found Tech with Tim's Kivy playlist particularly useful to get started with examples. The official Kivy Programming Guide is an excellent next-level resource.
