Description
A stand-alone multimedia supplement (CD-ROM) for Introductory Physics courses - both algebra-based and calculus-based.
This highly interactive CD-ROM is designed to augment the traditional learning experiences of lecture, lab, and text. It includes several dynamic components - simulation, animation, video, and interactive problem solving - that enable students to interact and visualize concepts in ways not possible in traditional learning programs. Content is organized according to four main topic areas in physics - mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, and light and optics. While the CD is designed to be interactive, professors can use any of the simulations, animations or videos for their lectures.
