Pfaltzgraff, David J. – Amer J Phys, 1969
Describes the use of the analog computer in the solution of the bouncing ball problem. The problem is treated theoretically and the results of the computations may be observed graphically or on an oscilloscope. Also discussed are the distortions of the ball due to impact, and possibilities of expanding the problem to include more complex…

Blum, Ronald; Bork, Alfred M. – Amer J Phys, 1970
Surveys the types of computer usage in science education, both current and planned. The computer facilities are classified as interactive, semi-interactive or non-interactive. Interactive facilities make possible educational use of the computer administrator or producer of materials. The computer generally, and each mode in particular, is…

Kromhout, Ora M.; and others – Amer J Phys, 1969
Describes the development of an autonomous computer-Assisted-Instruction general physics course for liberal-arts students at Florida State University. The course utilizes an IBM 1500 Instructional System to guide the student through a self-paced program of textbook reading assignments and homework problems, audiotaped lectures, PSSC movies, and…

Merrill, John R. – Amer J Phys, 1970
Describes three of many uses to which the desk-top computer has been put in the introductory physics laboratory. The three uses involve an AC circuit laboratory, an equipotential mapping experiment, and an N-slit diffraction experiment. Typical desk-top computer-produced theory plots are shown. (LC)
