Having understood the statement of a problem, try to solve it yourself.

The second part is a set of unrelated examples from physics and mathematics which can be studied selectively and in any order. Its ?rst part is a short systematic introduction to computer algebra and Mathematica it can (and should) be read sequentially. The present book does not try to replace these manuals. Many books about Mathematica and its application in various areas have been published see, for example,the series of fourbooks(each morethan 1,000pages long) or. The fundamental book on this system has more than 1,200 pages.Fortunately,thesame information(moreup-to-datethanina printedbook)is available in the help system and hence is always at the ?ngertips of any user. The systemMathematicaismostpopular.Itcontainsahugeamountofmathematicalknowledge in its libraries. There are several powerful general-purposecomputer algebra systems. Polynomial or trigonometric manipulations using paper and pen are becomingas obsolete as school long division in the era of calculators. For example, many important calculations in theoretical physics could never be done by hand, without wide use of computer algebra.

There are currently 16 simulations on this site.Computer algebra systems are widely used in pure and applied mathematics, physics, and other natural sciences, engineering, economics, as well as in higher and secondary education (see, e.g., ). The work presented here was done by Brent Perreault for the That can be used to help aid in the instruction of elementary physics.

The advantage of collecting these demonstrations here is that it gives a coherent group of focused demonstrations Some of them are new and others are already part of the demonstration project, and have been collected, and perhaps edited, to fit the This website contains a collection of physics simulations created in the spirit of the Wolfram Demonstration project.

To view these demonstrations you will need to install the Wolfram free CDF plugin.įor Mathematica users interested in creating these types of simulations as demonstrations see this Mathematica notebook: Creating Physics Simulations with Mathematica. Please peruse them and try changing the input parameters for each of the computable documents (.cdf). Each page listed in the left sidebar contains an interactive physics simulation.
