Dynamic Applets for Teaching Physics

Abstract

The subject of mathematics is important for many other subjects, including physics. The questions we ask in physics often need a mathematical translation to be graphically interpreted and transformed. Students learn physics when interacting with physical questions; questions from physics also give insights and discoveries in mathematical problems. In physics we often deal with questions that benefit from being illustrated with mathematical tools. A scientific theory (in physics or in another science) is an isomorphism between physical reality and a mathematical model.
