Körber, C.; Hammer, I.; Wynen, J.-L.; Heuer, J.; Müller, C.; Hanhart, C. – Physics Education, 2018
Numerical simulations are playing an increasingly important role in modern science. In this work it is suggested to use a numerical study of the famous perihelion motion of the planet Mercury (one of the prime observables supporting Einsteins general relativity) as a test case to teach numerical simulations to high school students. The paper…
