These labs were designed by Prof. Chris Orban for Physics 1250 at OSU Marion and they should be generally useful for advanced high school and introductory college level. No calculus knowledge or prior programming experience is assumed.
These programming labs use a very nice programming framework called processing.org which is very similar to C/C++. There is also a convenient way to run these simulations using a web browser called processing.js
Step 0. If you are *not* using a computer that already has the processing.org environemnt installed, then follow the link below and choose windows 64-bit if you are using windows (and make sure to click "Extract" if asked), or Mac OSX if you are using a Mac.
If you are using a computer that already has the processing.org framework installed please continue:
