Using Computer Algebra Software
To Teach Undergraduate Physics
A Leadership Development Workshop
at the United States Air Force Academy
Colorado Springs, CO
July 11-23, 1993
Computer algebra software can symbolically solve equations, integrate,
differentiate, solve differential equations, manipulate matrices and
much more. Its incorporation into the physics classroom is only just
beginning. This workshop will provide participants an opportunity to
master a computer algebra program and develop strategies for its
integration into the undergraduate physics curriculum. Workshop
participants will then be able to lead workshops of their own in local
and regional settings.
Four powerful computer algebra packages will be available at the
workshop:
Derive
Maple
Mathematica
Theorist
Workshop participants may work on either Apple Macintoshes or PC's
(DOS or Windows). Participants must be college faculty involved in
undergraduate physics programs.
The workshop will provide expenses and a stipend for all
participants.
The application deadline is March 5, 1993.
The workshop faculty:
Glenn Sowell
University of Nebraska at Omaha
Marvin De Jong
College of the Ozarks
Patrick Tam
Humboldt State University
This workshop is sponsored under a National Science Foundation faculty
enhancement grant #USE-9255505
