The Physics Teacher
written by Art Hobson
This journal article argues that it is important to introduce quantum theory in college freshman physics classes.  The author shows from experience how a teacher can teach the subject without using advanced mathematics and provides specific strategies, along with examples, on the most effective ways to introduce various quantum principles.  These examples include the photoelectric effect, particle theory of radiation, wave-matter duality, the quantum atom, uncertainty principles, interconnectedness principle, and the Copenhagen interpretation.
