A good summary on how computers are used by physics teachers was presented
to us by Paul Hickman. The most creative use of computers, programming, is
deemphasized today. Creation of spreadsheets is programming but using ready-
made spreadsheets is not. My preferred tool for solving problems through
programming is True Basic. It is powerful, easy to learn and costs very
little ($20 for a student version with the manual, either for IBM or MAC).
The stdent version does not allow a code to have more than 200 lines,
otherwise it is as powerful professional. The company is located in NH,
their toll-free number is (800) 436-2111.
