Nemirovsky, Ricardo; Tinker, Robert – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1993
Describes software, hardware, and devices that were designed to provide students with an environment to experiment with basic ideas of mechanics, including nonlinear dynamics. Examines the behavior of a Lorenzian water wheel by comparing experimental data with theoretical results obtained from computer-based sensors. (MDH)
