Book description
The goal of this book is to teach undergraduate students how to use
Scientific Notebook
(SNB
) to solve physics problems. SNB
software combines word processing and mathematics in standard notation
with the power of symbolic computation. As its name implies, SNB
can be used as a notebook in which students set up a math or science
problem, write and solve equations, and analyze and discuss their
results.
Written by a physics teacher with over 20 years experience,
this text includes topics that have educational value, fit within the
typical physics curriculum, and show the benefits of using SNB.
This easy-to-read text:
- Provides step-by-step instructions for using Scientific Notebook
(SNB) to solve physics problems
- Features examples in almost every section to enhance the reader's
understanding of the relevant physics and to provide detailed
instructions on using SNB
- Follows the traditional physics curriculum, so it can be used to
supplement teaching at all levels of undergraduate physics
- Includes many problems taken from the author's class notes and
research
Aimed at undergraduate physics and engineering students, this text
teaches readers how to use SNB to solve some everyday physics problems.
