Abstract:
|
One of the complaints students have when computation is introduced in courses is to ask why they need to learn programming in a physics course. This is just one of the hurdles faced when trying to add a computational component to physics courses. I’ll discuss how PICUP has helped me overcome many of these challenges and talk about the successes and failures my colleagues and I had trying to integrate computation into the physics curriculum.
