Physics Links
Here are some interesting and useful sites with a strong physics component.
If you know of other interesting Physics sites, please send my an e-mail with the site's url.
Tables, guides and useful information.
- Integral-Table site. This 1/27/2022 sub-site is an archive copy of B.E. Shapiro's Integral-Table.com site. It contains integral tables, statistics, study guides and additional pages. The original site is being retired.
HTML5 Simulations
In case you want to use any physics simulations in your classes, here are links some great HTML5 simulations that will work on any Web browser (no Java!) including iOS (iPad, iPhone) and Android smart phones/tablets.
- Andrew Duffy at Boston University. Nice Wave sims.
- Walter Fendt has updated many of his Java sims to work in HTML5 now.
- PhET Excellent site. See below.
- Steven Sahyun's Sims My simulators.
- 3D Physics Apps Visualizations of several Physics Models and a nice basic Optics table.
