Phys 475 Homepage

I have modified how VPython starts up. It now starts up in editor mode, instead of command-line mode, so
you should be able to start typing in programs in the window that opens up.

We have modified the preferences of the Macs in 210 Thaw. Now you should be able to download from
Safari to the Shared directory. IF IT DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

    The ball shall be a sphere formed by yarn wound around a small core of cork, rubber or similar material,
    covered with two stripes of white horsehide or cowhide, tightly stitched together. It shall weigh not less
    than five nor more than 5 1/4 ounces avoirdupois and measure not less than nine nor more than 9 1/4

Welcome to Physics 0475!

This homepage will be used for announcements for the class.

This section of Physics 0475 is modeled after the SCALE-UP project from NC State.

The textbook is Matter and Interactions.

This is calculus-based physics course for students majoring in science or engineering. This course covers basic mechanics and some modern physics.

We will use the fact that only a small number of fundamental principles underlie the behavior of matter and that using these principles models can be constructed to explain a wide variety of physical phenomena.

The variety of phenomena we will be able to explain and understand is very wide, from the orbit of a planet to the speed of sound in a solid.

This class will include hands-on, inquiry-based activities (labs, computer modeling, and analytical work) during the class period that allow you to uncover various aspects of a physics concept. A wide variety of activities and measurements will be interspersed with classroom discussion. The course will emphasize rigorous problem solving in physics using interactive instruction, educational software, computer applications important for science and engineering students, and cooperative learning.
