                       Using Computer Algebra Software 
                        To Teach Undergraduate Physics
 
                      A Leadership Development Workshop
                   at the United States Air Force Academy
                           Colorado Springs, CO
          
                             July 11-23, 1993


Computer algebra software can symbolically solve equations, integrate, 
differentiate, solve differential equations, manipulate matrices and much more. 
Its incorporation into the physics classroom is only just beginning. This 
workshop will provide participants an opportunity to master a computer 
algebra program and develop strategies for its integration into the 
undergraduate physics curriculum. Workshop participants will then be able to 
lead workshops of their own in local and regional settings.

Four powerful computer algebra packages will be available at the workshop:
      Derive
      Maple
      Mathematica
      Theorist

Workshop participants may work on either Apple Macintoshes or PC's (DOS or 
Windows). Participants must be college faculty involved in undergraduate 
physics programs.

      The workshop will provide expenses and a stipend for all participants.

      The application deadline is March 5, 1993.

      Glenn Sowell
      University of Nebraska at Omaha
      Marvin De Jong
      College of the Ozarks
