Abstract:
A coherent set of materials for upper-division university education in computational physics/science has been developed at Oregon State University, USA. It contains an introductory course in scientific computing, a course in Computational Physics, and a coordinated collection of multimedia interactive/animation programs which enhance the book and the courses. Computational Physics programs using Python programming language are presented and displayed. It is proposed that presentation using Java and Python is a more effective and efficient way to teach physics than the traditional one.
