Demonstration of light, color and polarization
A description of a demo challenge for PHY105, Science for the 21st Century
is available as a MS Word document
and as a (harder to read, since converted)
html document.
Java Applets for Physics Education
I am currently collaborating with Simon Catterall, Ed Lipson,
Eric Schiff and Gian Vidali, all here at Syracuse, on the
development of interactive simulations for teaching physics.
These simulations are to be bundled with course content for use
as demonstrations in class and as instructional modules.
Also see
examples of modules
developed here at Syracuse without Java
applets.
