Laugh Track
Click To Play
For my Curriculum History & Development class, we had to do an Inquiry Mapping Activity where we picked a topic, learned as much as we could about it, and mapped the process that we went through to do so. I chose to study laughter! Ma ha ha! This video gives an overview my research into the physiological, psychological, and social aspects of laughter. Among the laughers chuckling in the video are professors and students from the Science & Math Ed. department and my friends from the Longhorn Center for Academic Excellence. Enjoy!
Featuring “A Happy Beat” by Kumbahya.
A special thanks to Sam Cox for allowing me the pleasure of learning from him.
Below is my friend Tom’s inquiry mapping video. He was a bit more ambitious than I was choosing to study Hyperbolic Geometry. His awesome bass and accordion playing is in the background.

“She’s wonderfully creative”, said Dan. I say 14 facial muscles, plus all the abdominal muscles and probably the pecs and back extensors are involved in a “belly” laugh!
We are smiling!
Love you,
Becky and Dan

Very funny! By the way, the author of one of those books on hyperbolic geometry, Jim Anderson, is a good friend of mine from graduate school — I’ll pass this link on to him!

You are so great. 
I didn’t understand Tom’s video. Can you explain the deeper meaning please?

Ok, Kat. Tom’s video documents his process in studying Hyperbolic Geometry. Here’s what I gather from the video and listening to his presentation:
1. Tom finds a book about Hyperbolic Geometry, but the words are backwards on the camera.
2. He uses a mirror to reverse the words.
3. He reads about Hyperbolic Geometry, and becomes frustrated and overwhelmed, so he retreats to the trusty wikipedia.
4. He is tempted to look up other things on wikipedia (such as ninjas), but he changes his mind and reads about Hyperbolic Geometry.
5. Then he goes to talk to Randy (an expert on hyperbolic geometry?); however, Randy does not want his picture taken for the video, so Tom inserts a picture of Randy’s chair.
6. After reading wikipedia and talking with Randy, Tom goes back to the Hyperbolic Geometry book (written by Jim Anderson, according to Efton Park). Now he is able to understand Hyperbolic Geometry and all is well.
Tom, how’d I do?
