Computational Physics for Upper Level Courses Topical Conference
edited by
Wolfgang Christian
These conference proceedings provide the presentations, activities, and outcomes of the 2007 AAPT Topical Conference on Computational Physics. This conference explored the tools, common practices, and pedagogy used in physics departments to instruct students in computational methods and the use of computer-based resources. The materials available include a summary and outcomes of the conference, invited talks, and some of the contributed posters.
