Web Resources
On this page you find links to places on the web providing resources on
physics and computers, and some related topics. You are most welcome to suggest additional links or to
report broken ones. This page
is very far from being complete, but more links will be added with time.
Some of the descriptive captions you see on the links
are quoted from the destination website itself.

Wolfram
Research Inc.: The makers of Mathematica, this is a huge site, with many
useful and interesting sub-sites. The next 10 links are part of that larger
site:
-
Mathematica Information Center: Thousands of pages of information on
Mathematica and its applications to mathematics, science, and other
fields.
-
MathWorld: The web's most popular and extensive mathematics resource.
-
ScienceWorld:
A companion to MathWorld, covering astronomy, biography, chemistry,
and physics.
-
The Wolfram Functions Site: More than 87,000 facts about mathematical
functions.
-
The Wolfram Integrator: The power to do integrals as the world has never
seen before.
-
Wolfram Personal Sites:
Stephen Wolfram,
is the site all about Stephen Wolfram, scientist, creator of Mathematica,
and author of A New Kind of Science.
Wolfram Science
is the official website of Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science.
-
The
Mathematica Journal: An online and print journal dedicated to
Mathematica users. Some items are accessible for free.

Physicist's Guide to Mathematica: website of the reference by the
same name, by Professor P. Tam. You can download the code in that book from
this site.
-
About CUPS (You can get a more detailed version of this page upon
request from your instructor).
- Modelica is an
object-oriented modeling language, designed to allow convenient,
component-oriented modeling of complex physical systems.
-
3D
World Simulations: These pages aim to give enough physics information to
allow physical objects to be simulated by a computer program. The main
interest is in simulating solid objects and fluids at our usual level of
experience, so we concentrate on Newtonian physics as opposed to relativity
or quantum mechanics.
- SymbolicNet:
SymbolicNet.org provides a convenient starting point for discovering
information about SAC (Symbolic and Algebraic Computation).
TEX is a typesetting
system that produces professional and beautiful looking documents. However,
unlike programmes like Microsoft Word, TEX
is not a WYSIWYG system (what-you-see-is-what-you-get). The TEX
system was created by Donald Knuth, and is available for free.
- MiKTEX:
MiKTEX is an up-to-date
TEX implementation for
the Windows operating system.
- TUG: The TEX
Users Group (TUG) was founded in 1980 for educational and scientific
purposes, to provide an organization for those who have an interest in
typography and font design, and are users of the TEX
typesetting system invented by Donald Knuth.
-
Donald Knuth's homepage.
-
e-library: Electronic access to
periodicals and journals from inside the University of Jordan:
- arXiv.org: One of many mirrors of a large
compendium of pre-printed versions of professional scientific articles and
papers.
-
Adobe Acrobat Reader: This software is used to read pdf files (you need
it to view most of the files available on this website.
-
MathReader: Free download from Wolfram Research, used for reading
Mathematica notebooks even if you don't have Mathematica
installed on your machine.
-
MathType: A greatly improved version of Microsoft's equation editor. You
can use it to typeset equations. The download is a 30-day trial version.
