Foil 5 Internetics and Physics

From Computational Science Curriculum, Delivery, Certification Computational Science Panel -- November 12 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox


The Physics department at Syracuse has active research program but no graduate students at all -- in particular no graduate students interested in computational science ......
  • (They get admitted to Physics PhD but graduate with masters in computer engineering)
A combination of Physics and Internetics is an interesting background both to
  • be an experimental physicist designing new data analysis systems
  • be a K-12 science teacher
Further comparing "books" with the Web, we see that the Web offers opportunities for "technical people" as well as those with good "communication skills" -- Java applets combined with numerical algorithms may sometimes be more effective than streams of beautiful English words and nifty drawings
