This notebook guides students through implementing a whistle-activated keylock system, where the password is a melody. Students will learn to use Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) for pitch detection, normalize notes, and apply Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) for melody comparison. By the end, students will understand how to handle noise and variations in speed and pitch.

Focused on algorithmic fairness in university admissions. Students design and evaluate a weighted admission algorithm, analyze fairness of representation and fairness of outcomes, investigate proxy attributes such as high school quality, and explore trade-offs in fairness optimization. Using the Berkeley admissions dataset, the notebook introduces Simpson’s paradox and discusses demographic parity, bias detection, and both technical and non-technical approaches to improving fairness.

This notebook explores the powder X-ray diffraction spectra of various systems. It explains how X-ray waves are diffracted when they interact with a crystal. Unlike single crystal diffraction, which requires precise crystal orientation, powder X-ray diffraction allows for all possible plane orientations, resulting in a range of diffraction angles. This feature simplifies the production of angle versus intensity graphs, enabling the determination of crystal structures.
