Description

In a cultural, history-based, sense-making approach to Quantum Mechanics multi-representations are fundamental to improve conceptual learning of abstract, mathematical aspects. In fact, they can be integrated among each other allowing students to actively manipulate concepts and instruments which would otherwise be difficult and little accessible. In this presentation we will show different (and interconnected) representations of vectors in complex Hilbert spaces and of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of Hermitian matrices together with an evaluation of their efficacy for students conceptual understanding.
