Educational Computer Course
"PHYSICS by PICTURES"


"Physics by  Pictures" is  educational computer   courseware  for   both
teachers and   schoolchildren,  developed  in Scientific Center PHYSICON
(founded by  Moscow Institute  of Physics  and  Technology).  It  is  an
integral base of knowledge in the field of physics.

"Physics by  Pictures" consists of  reference book and a set of computer
programs. It  includes colorful   computer simulations  from  Mechanics,
Thermodynamics   and   Molecular  Physics,  Electricity,  Optics, Atomic
Physics,   as well  as portraits  and biographies  of famous physicists,
historical experiment examples, etc.

Some questions   and   different     problems    are     included     in
courseware  with  the  possibility to enter the answer of schoolchildren
and to  check it.   It   is   possible   to  choose  all  parameters  in
computer   simulations   Some of the examples are designed as a flexible
constructor, which  allow to develop  different experimental schemas and
to investigate  them. There  are also  a calculator,   lists of  physics
and   mathematics formulae,   tables   of   physical   constants.    The
hypertext is used to ease  learning physics.

The   "Physics by  Pictures" courseware  is intended  for schoolchildren
with different  levels of   physics  knowledge.  It  may  be  used  both
as a convenient reference book for first level of studying physics,  and
for deeper  learning of physics.  Some of the  problems are intended for
high level schoolchildren.

The  distinguishable features of "Physics by Pictures" are:

a) the   courseware   include  different information and functions using
simulations, gaming, testing  etc.,
b) a friendly  interactive graphics interface,
c)  the  courseware  provides  wide  possibilities  for  more  intensive
teaching and  attracts considerable interest of schoolchildren.

Hardware requirements: IBM XT/AT/286/386 compatibles,  EGA or VGA graphic
card, Hard disk, Microsoft compatible mouse, MS DOS 3.3 or higher.
