Computer Simulation Laboratory for Undergraduate Thermal Physics and Introductory Physics

卡拉马祖学院将购买五台高速科学工作站。这些将被用来改进高年级热物理课程和入门物理序列的教学。在热物理课程中将介绍分子动力学和蒙特卡罗模拟技术。在入门课程中，这些工作站将用于模拟简单但非线性的机械系统，以及静电模拟。卡拉马祖学院将为国家科学基金会提供同等数额的资金。

Kalamazoo College will purchase five high-speed scientific workstations. These will be used to improve instruction in the upper- division thermal physics course, and in the introductory physics sequence. Molecular dynamics and monte carlo simulation techniques will be introduced in the thermal physics course. In the introductory courses the workstations will be used to simulate simple, but nonlinear, mechanical systems, and for electrostatics simulations. Kalamazoo College will match the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
