DAMOP 2016

I was invited to give a talk at the 2016 Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics meeting on integrating computation across the curriculum. In that talk, I mentioned a number of papers and resources. Below are all the papers and resources:

Talk

• Teaching Computation Across the Curriculum

Papers

• Analysis of Errors in Introductory Physics Students’ Programs
• Incorporating Computation into Modeling Instruction
• Student’s Blend Physics and Computational Knowledge
• Incorporating Computation into Upper-level Classical Mechanics
• Framework for K-12 Science Education
• An Argument for Three-Dimensional Learning in Undergraduate Science Education

Resources

• Computational Physics Screencasts (Mathematica)
• Computational Physics Homework Problems for Classical Mechanics
• Computational Physics Final Project for Classical Mechanics
• Matter and Interactions
• Projects and Practices in Physics Wiki
• Modeling Instruction
• VPython - Programing for mere mortals
• PhysUtil - Enhancements for VPython
• Glowscript - Web-based VPython

I should mention that a longer paper describing Projects and Practices in Physics is written, and will be posted to the ArXiV this summer.
