Designing Physics Problems with Mathematica ()
ABSTRACT
We
envision utilizing the versatility of a Computer Algebra System, specifically Mathematica to
explore designing physics problems. As a focused project, we consider
for instance a thermo-mechanical-physics problem showing its development from the
ground up. Following the objectives of this investigation first by applying the fundamentals of physics principles we solve
the problem symbolically. Applying the solution we investigate the
sensitivities of the quantities of interest for various scenarios generating
feasible numeric parameters. Although a physics problem is investigated,
the proposed methodology may as well be applied to other scientific fields. The
codes needed for this particular project are included enabling the interested
reader to duplicate the results, extend and modify them as needed to explore
various extended scenarios.
