How Can I Create Visual Aids and Numeric Examples for Advanced Physics Courses?

AI Thread Summary
A physics undergraduate is tasked with creating visual aids and numeric examples for upper-level courses such as Electromagnetism, Quantum Mechanics, and Thermal Physics. The student is familiar with programming languages like Java, Fortran, and C, and seeks guidance on where to begin. Recommendations include using Mathematica for its comprehensive simulation capabilities and focusing on both illustrative and analytical visual aids to enhance understanding of complex concepts. Encouragement is given to persist in this endeavor.

Hey,
I am a physics undergrad, and I have been recently given a task to help my physics instructor with providing visual aids and numeric examples for his class. Meaning for a given number of problems in the textbook I will take the analytic solutions and make a numerical example(s) out of it using some programming language. Then on some problems I am to include some visual aids like drawings of the problem or simple animations. The classes my instructor will be teaching are upper level undergraduate courses (E &M, Quantum, Thermal, ... ). I know some basic programming languages like Java, Fortran, and some C. Any ideas where I should start?

In that case I would recommend the Mathematica, it has full coverage of simulation such kind of visual aid...Good luck..
 
Well, you should start on illustration, figurative and analytical visual aids. . .
Good luck. . . And keep striving. . .

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
