A Conference on the Introductory Calculus-Based Physics Course

物理（13）这个项目是支持介绍微积分为基础的物理课程的会议。这次会议是国家大学生物理工作组（美国物理教师协会，AAPT，美国物理学会，APS和美国物理研究所，AIP的合作努力）的倡议。近年来，很明显，有必要更新和振兴物理教育。与此同时，一个重要的物理教育研究基地已经出现，特别强调入门物理学。因此，现在时机已经成熟，为那些有兴趣利用研究成果来改进课程的部门提供一个论坛，在那里他们可以获得他们需要的信息，包括成功实施的例子。社区对这样一次会议有很大的兴趣，估计出席人数约为200人。其结果将是大量的物理系将开始修改他们的介绍顺序，以符合最佳的教学思想。

Physics (13) This project is supporting a Conference on the Introductory Calculus-basedPhysics Course. The conference is an initiative of the National Task Force onUndergraduate Physics (a cooperative effort of the American Association of PhysicsTeachers, AAPT, and The American Physical Society, APS, and the American Institute ofPhysics, AIP). In recent years it has become clear that there is a need to update andrevitalize physics education. At the same time, a significant base of research in physicseducation has emerged with a particular emphasis on introductory physics. Therefore thetime is ripe to provide departments that are interested in using the results of researchto improve their courses a forum where they can get the information they need, includingexamples of successful implementations. Significant interest exists in the community forsuch a conference, and the attendance is estimated at approximately 200. The result will bea large number of physics departments that will begin to revise their introductorysequence in line with the best thinking on teaching and learning.
