Learn how to model and visualize geostationary orbits using GlowScript VPython. This step-by-step tutorial covers the physics, code, and visualization tips so you can build an accurate and interactive ...

I’ve started recreating many of my numerical model tutorials for introductory physics. In the beginning, I had students use spreadsheets to create models. Of course, spreadsheets aren’t very good for ...

I’ve already made the argument that numerical models (using computer code) should be an integral part of the introductory physics course. But what if you don’t know where to start? Suppose you are ...
