Teaching Physics with MATLAB

Video length is 39:28

In this webinar, you will learn how you and your students can benefit from incorporating computation based on MATLAB in your physics curriculum.  Webinar highlights include examples that demonstrate
- First-principles modeling
- Modeling paradigms
- Black box modeling

We will show that MATLAB enables your students to improve their conceptual understanding and build proficiency with computational tools by  

  • Performing interactive simulations
  • Solving problems numerically or analytically
  • Extracting, analyze, and visualize experimental data
  • Modeling and simulating phenomena to build intuition
  • Expressing and simulating equations to test hypotheses
  • Simulating analytical models to test predictions

In this webinar, you will also learn about MATLAB resources to use in developing your teaching Physics curriculum.
