Abstract:Skills in computer science can have great value in studying, doing and
communicating physics. As educators, we asked ourselves how to make
students aware of that, and how to offer them a new and appealing
approach to physics. We also wondered how to increase students’
engagement, participation and understanding, particularly when lessons
are delivered online. Thus, we began a project to develop study
materials for an introductory course in physics for computer science and
we chose to use open source software. … Show more
