At the College of the Holy Cross, the sophomore mathematical methods of physics students completed VPython programming projects. This is the first time VPython has been used in a physics course at this college. These projects were aimed at applying some methods learned to actual physical situations. Students first completed worksheets from North Carolina State University to learn the programming environment. They then used VPython to apply the mathematics of vectors and differential equations learned in class to solve physics situations which appear simple but are not easy to solve analytically. For most of these students it was their first programming experience. It was also one of the only chances we had to do actual physics applications during the semester due to the large amount of mathematical content covered. In addition to showcasing the students’ final programs, this poster will share their view of including VPython in this course.
