I love python. I'm not ashamed to admit my feelings. One of the things I attempt to convey in my introductory physics courses is the notion that numerical calculations are cool. Of course, by ...

Learn how to make energy calculations simple with a real-world example: mowing a lawn! This video demonstrates how to apply physics concepts of work, energy, and power to everyday tasks, showing step ...

I love including numerical calculations in my introductory and advanced physics courses. I find that including coding in the introductory physics course forces students to think in different ways to ...

Master inclined plane problems using the work-energy method in this detailed physics lesson! This video demonstrates how to apply the principles of work and energy to calculate velocities, forces, and ...

[This is a guest post by David L. Morgan, who is an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Eugene Lang College in Manhattan. -- JBJ] One of the first things I teach the students in my physics ...

Moving along with our top science apps (we first showed you the best iOS math apps), now it’s time to clear some of the mystery surrounding the great laws of physics. These have plagued students ...

Applying techniques derived from classical and quantum physics calculations may radically reduce the time it takes to simulate the way that proteins fold. Applying techniques derived from classical ...
