"I use these programs at every opportunity. Students love Maxwell's Demon; it gives them an intuitive feel for entropy."

Physics Simulation Programs
Robert H. Good
California State University - Hayward
When James Maxwell invented a quick and clever "demon" to explain the concept of entropy, he never imagined it would come to life beyond the pages of a book. But Maxwell's Demon is one of eight popular computer demonstrations that will captivate your students' attention in Physics Simulation Programs.
Motion plays an essential role in each of the animations. Atoms collide and waves travel smoothly across the screen. Students can watch moving charges, radiating dipoles, light through a thin lens, waves on a string, longitudinal waves, sine waves, and a nuclear reaction without ever leaving their seats - in the form of time-honored computer simulations.
The effect of these programs on learning is immense compared to the short amount of lecture time necessary to run the demonstrations. Your students will be able to "see" and understand phenomena that is difficult to illustrate with a traditional chalkboard. On-screen explanations, one-key operation, and easy-to-read labels make this package ideal for projection on a classroom screen. 54 pp.
