Doing Physics with Scientific Notebook

The goal of this book is to teach undergraduate students how to use <i>Scientific Notebook</i> (<i>SNB</i>) to solve physics problems. <i>SNB</i> software combines word processing and mathematics in standard notation with the power of symbolic computation. As its name implies, <i>SNB</i> 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. <p>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 <i>SNB</i>.</p> <p>This easy-to-read text:</p> <ul> <li>Provides step-by-step instructions for using Scientific Notebook (<i>SNB</i>) to solve physics problems</li> <li>Features examples in almost every section to enhance the reader’s understanding of the relevant physics and to provide detailed instructions on using <i>SNB</i></li> <li>Follows the traditional physics curriculum, so it can be used to supplement teaching at all levels of undergraduate physics</li> <li>Includes many problems taken from the author’s class notes and research</li> </ul> <p>Aimed at undergraduate physics and engineering students, this text teaches readers how to use <i>SNB</i> to solve some everyday physics problems.</p>
