Coordinatization Activated: How Students Understand and Apply Coordinate-Independent Integral Equations to Physics Situations

Creator:

Mulder, Gregory S.

Abstract:

Physics problems that require integration, such as finding the center of mass of an object or finding the electric field from a continuous distribution of charge, are one type of problem that is difficult for introductory physics students to solve. These problems require students to define a coordinate system in...
