Quadrupole Magnets adds a new dimension to the growing selection of physics tutorial software from WhistleSoft, Inc. The program covers the fundamental properties of quadrupole magnets and explains how they are used in practical application. This hypertext application is the computer tutorial of its kind to deal with quadrupole magnets. Quadrupole Magnets is divided into six sections: introduction, quadrupole singlets, matrix notation, quad systems, special topics, and related arrays and stability of beams. Ordered by degree of mastery, the last section is appealing to more advanced users and calls into practice calculus and Maxwell's equations. The program spotlights twelve interactive on-screen laboratories that offer a dimension for exploration that is not available through traditional textbook treatment. Students can work independently at their own pace, review material to boost comprehension, or jump to related topics via the snappy hypertext links that serve as an excellent reference resource. As with all WhistleSoft tutorials, Quadrupole Magnets includes a linked contents page and a concept map, an index, and navigation help, in addition to 3D animations, colorful graphics and sound. A question-and-answer section offers self test questions for gauging process, and a report card feature marks a student's stopping point and tracks how many questions have been answered correctly. The user's manual contains a detailed tutorial , a list of program commands, and a troubleshooting guide. Integrate Quadrupole Magnets into your course as a part of a lab or assign the tutorial as a supplemental activity for independent study.
