Sokolowski, Andrzej – Physics Education, 2019
This paper is a continuation of an earlier discussion in this journal about adhering to principles of mathematics while presenting function graphs in physics. As in the previous paper, the importance of the vertical line test was examined, this paper delves more in-depth, and it pinpoints a need for presenting graphs with a continuous rate of…

Houari, Ahmed – Physics Education, 2011
In this article, I will extend the falling ball method to measure the viscosity of liquids regardless of the degree of their viscosity. For this, I will show that one can obtain a measurement of the terminal velocity of a falling spherical ball in a viscous liquid by solving numerically the equation of motion which describes the dynamics of the…

Burge, E. J. – Physics Education, 1987
Suggests an approach to understanding the integrals associated with teaching electricity and magnetism at the college level. Categorizes integrals that are commonly used, explains the significance of paired usage and presents a method for introducing concepts. Provides a review of symbols and for integrals in college textbooks. (CW)
