physics at Kent State University. He received his Ph.D. in 1996 in theoretical nuclear physics from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. His primary task is teaching and he taught a number of physics courses at Kent State University from 1993 to 2007 before moving to Hiram College, where his currently responsible for teaching a number of physics courses, including: Principles of Physics I and II; Doing Physics with Scientific Notebook; Modern Physics; Thermal Physics and Electricity and Magnetism. He also carries out original research, and has published three papers where he uses used SNB to do the calculations. His current research involves classical periodic orbits near black holes.   The goal of this book is to teach undergraduate students how to use \u003ci\u003eScientific Notebook\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eSNB\u003c\/i\u003e) to solve physics problems. \u003ci\u003eSNB\u003c\/i\u003e software combines word processing and mathematics in standard notation with the power of symbolic computation.

Those 'easy' problems are a good place to start. Once you solve and understand them, we'll add some complications and let SNB do the math. This lets us solve interesting, more realistic problems, and this book will be a useful reference for your entire undergraduate career.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989081669861,"sku":"NP9780470665985","price":65.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470665985.jpg?v=1761782719","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/doing-physics-with-scientific-notebook-isbn-9780470665985","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
