Microcomputer and Data Acquisition System for Undergraduate Physics Projects

华盛顿学院物理系将购买一台麦金塔电脑、一个加速板和一个数据采集系统，以便进行模拟、数值计算和数据收集和分析。学生将在以下领域做专题：i)非线性动力学；ii)生物物理；iii)天文学和天体物理学；以及iv)模数接口。一个专用的计算机系统将为学生提供将他们的正式工作扩展到能够带来当前物理学研究的兴奋的项目的可能性。

The Physics Department at Washington College will buy a Macintosh, an accelerator board, and a system for data collection in order to do simulations, numerical computation, and data collection and analysis. Students will do projects in the following areas: i) nonlinear dynamics; ii) biological physics; iii) astronomy and astrophysics; and iv) analog- digital interfacing. A dedicated computer system will offer students the possibility to expand their formal work to projects that bring the excitement of current research in physics.
