In addition to the physical demonstrations, we also present digital demonstrations, in the form of (interactive) simulations and animations. Those digital demos are developed by Tim de Wild (RUG-profile, LinkedIn), see also About Us. The digital demonstrations are categorized by course and/or topic in the dropdown menu, e.g. Mechanics, Quantum Physics and Electricity & Magnetism. For all demonstrations, a description of the context is included. They can be used within lectures or as part of assignments like homework sets.
The digital demonstrations are provided in one of the following formats:
- Interactive Python Notebook: these notebooks run in Google Colab so that no local python distribution is required. User instructions are provided. Extension: *.ipynb.
- Wolfram Mathematica Notebook: these notebooks are written within the framework of Wolfram Mathematica. To run them, you have to download the Wolfram Player via this link. Extension: *.nb.
- Video Animations: non-interactive simulations (i.e. animations) are provided as videos. Extension: *.mp4.
- Streamlit Apps: interactive online applets that students can use without the need to have Python or Mathematica distributions on their local machines.
