Interactive Physics Player Workbook, Hybrid WIN/MAC Version, 2/E Cindy Schwarz, Vassar College John P. Ertel, U. S. Naval Academy MSC Software Publisher: Prentice Hall Copyright: 2004 Format: Paper Bound w/CD-ROM; 233 pp ISBN-10: 0130671088 ISBN-13: 9780130671080 Our Price: $38.40 Status: Instock Published: 09/10/2003 Description For courses in algebra-based and calculus-based physics. This interactive workbook, tutorial oriented worksheets and CD-ROM package is designed to help students visualize and work with specific physics problems through simulations created with Interactive Physics files. Forty problems of varying degrees of difficulty require students to make predictions, change variables, run, and visualize motion on the computer. The accompanying workbook/study guide provides instructions, physics review, hints, and questions. The accompanying CD-ROM contains everything students need to run the simulations.
