Peer reviewedGuisasola, J.; Barragues, J. I.; Valdes, P.; Pedroso, F. – Physics Education, 1999
Describes changes in scientific research methods that have been brought about by the use of computers. Presents an example of the falling of a body in a fluid to show students how computers can be used to experiment with mathematical models and to automate experiments. Contains 11 references. (Author/WRM)
