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 ...

It's near the start of a new semester of physics. Many faculty are working on their plans for introductory physics courses. How many tests should there be? What about homework? Do I want to cover ...

The team’s theoretical calculations were largely supported by the results, and showed it’s all about the viscosity. Water ...

[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 ...

Learn how to simulate and analyze projectile motion with Projectile Motion Calculations in Python – A Practical Guide. This tutorial demonstrates step-by-step physics calculations using Python, ...

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 ...

I don't know what's out there and I'm wondering if I can get some info. I know a lot of guys probably write their own, but I have no experience in programming of any kind since playing with my ...
