Programming Projects

As part of the the Physics 222 Programming class, students had the option to complete a project. The purpose of the projects was to practice putting their computer programming skills to work. Students choice an area of interest to them, wrote a program related to that area, and then descibed the program and its results in a paper in the style of a formal lab write-up. The projects are described below.
