Title: Abstract Applets: A Method for Integrating Numerical Problem Solving into the Undergraduate Physics Curriculum

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/812625· OSTI ID:812625

In upper-division undergraduate physics courses, it is desirable to give numerical problem-solving exercises integrated naturally into weekly problem sets. I explain a method for doing this that makes use of the built-in class structure of the Java programming language. I also supply a Java class library that can assist instructors in writing programs of this type.
