Objectives -- 10.2. Theory--Nelson's approach -- 10.3. Analysis of quantum particle trajectories.This book covers essential Microsoft EXCELª's computational skills while analyzing introductory physics projects. Topics of numerical analysis include; multiple graphs on the same sheet, calculation of descriptive statistical parameters, a 3-point interpolation, the Euler and the Runge-Kutter methods to solve equations of motion, the Fourier transform to calculate the normal modes of a double pendulum, matrix calculations to solve coupled linear equations of a DC circuit, animation of waves and Lissajous figures, electric and magnetic field calculations from the Poisson equation and its 3D surface graphs, variational calculus such as Fermat's least traveling time principle and the least action principle. Nelson's stochastic quantum dynamics is also introduced to draw quantum particle trajectories.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Shinil Cho attended Rikkyo University in Tokyo, Japan for his BS degree, Seoul National University in Seoul, Korea for MS, and the Ohio State University for Ph.D. He held post-doctoral fellowships at the Ohio State University and University of Florida, a visiting professor at University of South Carolina. He has been at La Roche University since 1995. Currently he is an Associate Professor at La Roche. His current research interest includes quantum computation, biometrics, and physics education.Title from PDF title page (viewed on November 18, 2019).
