An Experimental Undergraduate Physics Laboratory in Computational Physics

圣何塞州立大学的物理系正在启动一项 计算物理学的新实验课程。 的结构 该课程与实验室课程类似， 在学期中做一个或两个主要项目。 可用 项目跨越物理学的所有领域，课程应该是 对所有专业都有吸引力（也许还有一些应用数学和CS 专业。） 该补助金将增加一个快速的386克隆，Mac IIx计算机 和一些支持硬件和软件的设备已经在 手 这次升级使该部门能够运行一个实验室与15-20 更强大的机器使学生能够 运行相当复杂的项目。 该大学将以同等数额的资金来匹配该奖项。

The Physics Department at San Jose State University is starting a new laboratory course in computational physics. The structure of the course parallels that of experimental labs in which students do one or two major projects in the semester. The available projects span all fields of physics, and the course should be attractive to all majors (and perhaps some applied math and CS majors.) The grant is adding a fast 386 clone, Mac IIx computer and some supporting hardware and software to equipment already on hand. This upgrade allows the department to run a lab with 15-20 undergraduates, and the more powerful machines enable the students to run fairly sophisticated projects. The university will match the award with an equal amount of funds.
