One of the most important topics taught at the start of introductory physics is the idea of vectors. Students really need proficiency with them if they are to use force and momentum. Just about every ...

In this Python Physics lesson, we explore modeling current as a function of time in RC circuits. Learn how to simulate the charging and discharging behavior of resistors and capacitors using Python, ...

In this video from PYCON 2016 in Portland, Pramod Gupta from the University of Washington presents: Computational Physics with Python – Planetary Orbits from Newton to Feynman. “Newton’s explanation ...

Everyone already uses computers in physics. At the very least, students use handheld calculators (I doubt anyone is still using a slide-rule calculator). Also, it's becoming more common to have ...
