Doing Physics with Scientific Notebook (eBook, ePUB)

A Problem Solving Approach

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The goal of this book is to teach undergraduate students how to use Scientific Notebook (SNB) to solve physics problems. SNB software combines word processing and mathematics in standard notation with the power of symbolic computation. As its name implies, SNB can be used as a notebook in which students set up a math or science problem, write and solve equations, and analyze and discuss their results. Written by a physics teacher with over 20 years experience, this text includes topics that have educational value, fit within the typical physics curriculum, and show the benefits of using SNB. This easy-to-read text: * Provides step-by-step instructions for using Scientific Notebook (SNB) to solve physics problems * Features examples in almost every section to enhance the reader's understanding of the relevant physics and to provide detailed instructions on using SNB * Follows the traditional physics curriculum, so it can be used to supplement teaching at all levels of undergraduate physics * Includes many problems taken from the author's class notes and research Aimed at undergraduate physics and engineering students, this text teaches readers how to use SNB to solve some everyday physics problems.

Autorenporträt

Joe Gallant, Kent State University, USA Joe Gallant is currently a tenured associate professor of physics at Kent State University. He received his Ph.D. in 1996 in theoretical nuclear physics from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. His primary task is teaching and he taught a number of physics courses at Kent State University from 1993 to 2007 before moving to Hiram College, where his currently responsible for teaching a number of physics courses, including: Principles of Physics I and II; Doing Physics with Scientific Notebook; Modern Physics; Thermal Physics and Electricity and Magnetism. He also carries out original research, and has published three papers where he uses used SNB to do the calculations. His current research involves classical periodic orbits near black holes.
