چکیده

We consider the goals of the introductory course in classical mechanics taken by physics majors and argue both that these goals are not well met in actual courses and that the goals themselves should be rethought. We propose alternative goals and describe an introductory ‘‘modern mechanics’’ course that addresses these alternative goals. Included in the description are several genres of homework problems that are nearly absent from traditional mechanics courses at both the introductory and intermediate levels. The intermediate mechanics course could be restructured to exploit a broader foundation laid by the introductory course. © 2004 American Association of Physics

Quantum Interpretations in Modern Physics Instruction

Just as expert physicists vary in their personal stances on interpretation in quantum mechanics, instructors hold different views on teaching interpretations of quantum phenomena in introductory modern physics courses. There has been relatively little research in the physics education community on the variation in instructional approaches with respect to quantum interpretation, and how instruct...

Realizing Boltzmann’s dream: computer simula- tions in modern statistical mechanics

Today, computer simulations belong to the most important and powerful theoretical tools for the investigation of statistical mechanical systems particularly in the field of condensed matter. Many simulation methods may directly, or indirectly, be traced back to ideas of Ludwig Boltzmann or are used to carry on the program he had envisioned. Using several illustrative examples, we discuss the ro...
