GLASGOW UNIVERSITY
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY
PHYSICS DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMS
_______________________________________________________________________________
Glasgow University has the largest Physics Department in Scotland and
one of the largest in UK. We offer a wide selection of courses and
options in all branches of physics and astronomy, ranging from theories
of the origin of the Universe to practical applications of electronics
and lasers. Physics can be combined with many other subjects - not just
Mathematics or Electronic Engineering but even Music or Philosophy.
Computational techniques are an important part of modern physics and the
department has course options in this area. The main language used is 'C'
written on PC's and Acorn computers. Many students choose to do computing
projects in their third year.
These programs were originally written to demonstrate some of the concepts
in the undergraduate lecture courses given in our department. They were coded
in BASIC by Dr Sandy Watt as part of an ongoing computer assisted learning
programme. They proved to be useful both as lecturing aids and also for
students to experiment with themselves and have generally been well received.
They are being distributed in the hope that they will be equally useful to
other educational establishments. The applications are freeware. They may be
spread freely with all files (including this plug for Glasgow University)
intact. They may not be used or distributed for profit.
If you would like more information about PHYSICS and ASTRONOMY courses,
please write to
Head of Department,

GLASGOW, G12 8QQ.
For more information on these and other programs, comments, suggestions,
improvements etc., contact the author, Dr Watt, at the same address or e-mail
me *Mr* Luke Taylor (2/3 * PhD - his long suffering student). I can be
contacted at the following addresses (if in doubt try them both) :
