Description
The Open Source Physics project provides a comprehensive collection of Java applications, smaller ready-to-run simulations, and computer-based interactive curricular material. This book provides all the background required to make best use of this material and is designed for scientists and students wishing to learn object-oriented programming using Java in order to write their own simulations and develop their own curricular material.
The book provides a convenient overview of the Open Source Physics library and gives many examples of how the material can be used in a wide range of teaching and learning scenarios. Both source code and compiled ready-to-run examples are conveniently included on the accompanying CD-ROM. The book also explains how to use the Open Source Physics library to develop and distribute new curricular material.
