USING THE MATHCAD PROGRAM IN A SCHOOL PHYSICS COURSE

Abstract

The paper examines the capabilities of the Mathcad environment in modeling and visual representation of physical phenomena and processes. Mathcad has a wide range of capabilities for explaining and representing physical phenomena, modeling and visually representing them. The effectiveness of this method is assessed based on the level of students’ understanding of the material presented. The work shows the capabilities of the Mathcad environment in modeling and visual representation of physical phenomena and processes using real problems as examples.
