This course is an experimental section of Physics 101 limited to 20--25 students. While we will cover the traditional topics of Mechanics we will attempt to have a very hands-on class where students will do active experiments in class. A key component of this class will involve the use of JAVA software running under Web Browsers (e.g. Netscape or Internet Explorer ) to perform a variety of virtual experiments. ... This will be accomplished via both physical and virtual experimentation. ...
