论文摘要

手性或惯用性是在生物学和化学中常见的话题,但在物理课程中很少讨论。我们提供了一种在古典物理学中介绍该主题的方法,并演示其包容性的优点 - 例如,一种简单的方式,可以在物理定律中介绍对称性的概念,同时仅使用基本的矩阵操作提供了一些简单的证据,从而避免了三维点组的完整形式主义。

Chirality, or handedness, is a topic that is common in biology and chemistry, yet is rarely discussed in physics courses. We provide a way of introducing the topic in classical physics, and demonstrate the merits of its inclusion - such as a simple way to visually introduce the concept of symmetries in physical law - along with giving some simple proofs using only basic matrix operations, thereby avoiding the full formalism of the three-dimensional point group.
