Describes an open-ended laboratory project suited to science materials. The students are asked to determine the structure, the properties and possible applications of a commercial material that is being developed and supplied by the manufacturer. (GA)

Describes how to implement numerical integration on a pocket calculator to solve two kinds of differential equations important in physics. The two equations are those defining simple harmonic and quantum harmonic motion. The half-increment method is used for this purpose. (GA)

Explains the properties and gives the derivations of Airy's functions for simple example problems on stress such as the cantilever beam and the tensional cross-bow. (GA)

Discussed are aspects of the use of mathematical models in the teaching of oscillation theory. (MDR)

A demonstration to illustrate sum and difference frequencies of a nonlinear device is explained. (MDR)

After briefly reviewing equations of conduction and diffusion, and voltage and charge in electrical circuits, a simple experiment is given that allows students practical experience in a theoretical realm of physics. (MDR)

Descriptions of undergraduate physics programs are given: physics with geophysics physics with solid state electronics, physics with medical physics, and honors physics. (MDR)

A discussion of the course work in and the various major options of the undergraduate physics program at the University of Warwick is given. (MDR)

A review of topics and undergraduate programs in physics with medical applications at Queen Elizabeth College, London, is given. (MDR)

The modular degree program in physics at Oxford Polytechnic is described. This program allows for a combination of physics with other undergraduate study areas. (MDR)

Provides the entrance requirements of 135 universities, universities of technology, polytechnics, colleges of technology, and colleges of education in England, Scotland, and Wales. (SL)

Reviews the physics courses regularly available at 16 universities and colleges of technology in Scotland. (SL)

Describes the electronic circuits used in computer technology for the processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. (MLH)

Discusses the role of phonon quasi-particles in a wide range of phenomena from simple thermal properties to super conductivity and other electric and magnetic phase transitions. (MLH)

Describes a simple water channel, for use with an overhead projector. It is run from a water tap and may be used for flow visualization experiments, including the effect of streamlining and elementary building aerodynamics. (MLH)
