Dear MathGroup, We're looking for suggestions for introducing and teaching mathematica to students in a first year physics course. The students would use mathematica as a tool in working homework problems and in doing some lab work. Our tentative strategy is to have small mma notebooks that cover limited topics available for the students as they tackle specific problems. Has anyone tried this approach or, for that matter, anything else? We'd be interested in finding out what you're done, what works well and what doesn't, and in any teaching material you'd be willing to share (notebooks, problems built around mma, etc.). Thanks for your help. Bill Titus Department of Physics and Astronomy Carleton College One North College Street Northfield, MN 55057-4025 (507) 663-4386
