Part 4 of 6
Highlights: A collection of homework problems with solutions from across the curriculum that require students to interpret graphs physically
Abstract: Graphs can be a powerful tool in helping students learn to build the blend between physical concepts and mathematical symbology to develop their physical intuition and ability to think with math. This unit contains 115 homework problems drawn from across the curriculum. Problems are presented in two forms: as PDFs with solutions and access restricted to instructors, and as links the to ComPADRE version that can be assigned to students. The problems are also available in a (mostly) autograded commercial version (ExpertTA).
Resource Types: Homework, Restricted access, Instructor supplement, In-class activity
