The goal of this book is to teach undergraduate students how to useScientific Notebook (SNB) to solve physics problems.SNB software combines word processing and mathematics instandard notation with the power of symbolic computation. As itsname implies, SNB can be used as a notebook in whichstudents set up a math or science problem, write and solveequations, and analyze and discuss their results.
Written by a physics teacher with over 20 years experience, thistext includes topics that have educational value, fit within thetypical physics curriculum, and show the benefits of usingSNB.
This easy-to-read text:
* Provides step-by-step instructions for using ScientificNotebook (SNB) to solve physics problems
* Features examples in almost every section to enhance thereader's understanding of the relevant physics and to providedetailed instructions on using SNB
* Follows the traditional physics curriculum, so it can be usedto supplement teaching at all levels of undergraduate physics
* Includes many problems taken from the author's classnotes and research
Aimed at undergraduate physics and engineering students, thistext teaches readers how to use SNB to solve some everydayphysics problems.
