Making Physics More Accessible through Computation
2:59:25 - 3:01:51 (02:26)
The use of computation and simulations can help make complex physics concepts more accessible to those who aren't specialists in the field, allowing for a greater understanding of abstract ideas. This could lead to a more efficient and compressed approach to teaching physics concepts in the future.
