The goal of this book is to teach undergraduate students how to use
Scientific Notebook
(
SNB
) to solve physics problems.
software combines word processing and mathematics in standard notation with the power of symbolic computation. As its name implies,
can be used as a notebook in which students set up a math or science problem, write and solve equations, and analyze and discuss their results.
Written by a physics teacher with over 20 years experience, this text includes topics that have educational value, fit within the typical physics curriculum, and show the benefits of using
.
