The authors have developed a computer package in Spanish for university
students to help them learn physics; it is called APREFIS 1.0 and may be used with
Windows 9X/2000/NT. The program helps students learn with ease, to practise the
acquired knowledge and to evaluate themselves in the following topics: vector
algebra, electrostatic fields, electromagnetic fields, direct and alternating
current circuits, waves and an introduction to the theory of semiconductors. This
software package consists of four modules: theory, problems,
simulation experience and an evaluation test. These are useful as a guide for
students from the start of their course to the final exam. APREFIS 1.0 has
been used for more than two years by the students in La Laguna University
(Spain) and its efficiency is positively evaluated.
