Includes comments on expert systems, state of the art in artificial intelligence, robotics, and "Bacon," a computer program that finds scientific laws hidden in raw data.…

An interactive, instructional videodisc was produced using films on wave motion/vibrations and Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse. The disc is appropriate for three levels of physics (physics/algebra; physics/calculus; non-major physics). Program sections (introduction to videodisc player, bridge collapse, influence of wind, bridge properties, and…

Describes a software/hardware system for running computer-controlled physics experiments. Each set of experiments consists of a disk (for Apple 48K), instruction manual, and student manual. The pendulum and acceleration experiments are described. Although not described, experiments using a temperature probe are also available. (JN)
