******************************************************************* Integrating Computing Throughout the Physics Undergraduate Curriculum August 22 - 28, 1993 Carleton College Northfield, MN This five and a half day workshop for ten participants will focus on a two-fold problem facing many physics departments today: (1) how to take advantage of new opportunities offered by the advances in computer technology to explore, improve, and streamline the way physics is taught, and (2) how to give undergraduate majors the computing tools and skills they will need as members of a technological community. In particular, this workshop will introduce participants to two computing tools: Mathematica and C programming. Participants will then discuss and develop strategies for integrating these tools throughout the undergraduate physics curriculum in a coherent and logical fashion. The workshop will be staffed by members from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Carleton College. Expenses for travel, room and board, and course materials will be covered by the National Science Foundation through the ILI-LLD grant #DUE-9250659. To apply for the workshop, submit a letter (U. S. mail or e-mail) describing your teaching background and why you would like to attend the workshop to: Professor Bill Titus, Chair Department of Physics and Astronomy Carleton College One North College Street Northfield, MN 55057-4025 (507) 663-4386 btitus at nemesis.physics.carleton.edu Applications will be processed starting April 5.
