Breuer, W.; Matthews, P. W. – American Journal of Physics, 1972
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Electricity, Instruction
Simon, Sheridan A. – Computing Teacher, 1983
Discusses approach to integrating computer programing into a calculus-based physics survey college course which stresses three major uses of computers: data reduction, calculation, and simulation. An initial programing exercise and practical constraints--time a student can allot to course and student's level of confidence--are mentioned. (EJS)

Dalton, Joel B. – 1970
Three computer programs are presented that allow the high school student to explore and understand the physical forces involved in orbital flight at a greater depth than is usually possible. For each program, introductory material is given including the physics and mathematics involved. This is followed by the computer program in BASIC language.…

Dowling, John, Jr. – American Journal of Physics, 1972
Discusses the use of a set of computer programs (FORTRAN IV) in an introductory mechanics course for science majors. One laboratory activity is described for determining the coefficient of restitution of a glider on an air track. A student evaluation for the lab is included in the appendix. (Author/TS)
Descriptors: College Science, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Course Descriptions
Novak, Gordon S., Jr. – 1982
The major task in solving a physics problem is to construct an appropriate model of the problem in terms of physical principles. The functions performed by such a model, the information which needs to be represented, and the knowledge used in selecting and instantiating an appropriate model are discussed. An example of a model for a mechanics…

Hamann, Donald R. – Physics Today, 1983
Addresses questions of the philosophy of computer use that cut across various specialities, providing examples to make these distinctions clear. Topics considered include numerical analysis, simulations, software, Fortran computer language, and hardware. Indicates that computers do more than analyze experimentors' data. (JN)

Flerackers, E. L. M.; And Others – Physics Education, 1984
Suggests a method treating geometric optics using a microcomputer to do the calculations of image formation. Calculations are based on the connection between the composition of lenses and the mathematics of fractional linear equations. Logic of the analysis and an example problem are included. (JM)
Descriptors: College Science, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Higher Education
Metcalf, Michael – Perspectives in Computing, 1983
Examines present and future applications of computers in high-energy physics. Areas considered include high-energy physics laboratories, accelerators, detectors, networking, off-line analysis, software guidelines, event sizes and volumes, graphics applications, event simulation, theoretical studies, and future trends. (JN)
Descriptors: College Science, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Computer Simulation
Thompson, W. T.; And Others – Engineering Education, 1979
Described is the use of an interactive terminal-oriented computing system that has access to files of thermodynamics data. (Author/SA)
