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 ...

Numerical calculations are grand. Of course, they are just another form of normal calculations - like I have said before. So, I have mostly used [VPython](http ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

In the early years of space exploration, scientists and engineers dreamed of sending vehicles to Mars that could land on the planet’s surface and explore its terrain. However, one of their biggest ...

Irvine, Calif., Oct. 25, 2002 -- UC Irvine physicist Steven R. White, whose research is helping to make the use of superconductivity a reality, has won the Aneesur Rahman Prize for Computational ...
