Abstract Title: Integration of Computation into mechanics at WFU
Abstract: Over several years, the sophomore-level majors' mechanics class (Physics 262) has been revised to include an introduction to computation using Matlab. This work will be presented along with lessons learned about the importance of group work for students and pacing. This integration of computation has also been extended to half of the corresponding Intermediate Lab to allow for more in-depth problems for those who take and also in graduate statistical mechanics.
