Online Mathematics and Physical Science (Mathematics, Astronomy, Chemistry and Physics)

Abstract

Our focus in this chapter is to present a more discipline-centered review of representative and sound practices published examples from math and the physical sciences. This builds on to the previous chapters on Contemporary Approaches and Promising Technologies and Strategies and compliments the mathematics and physical science examples reviewed earlier. We group the examples into the chief areas: courses, simulations, virtual laboratories, collaborations, virtual science museums and digital libraries. Our goal is to provide the reader with a surveyed appreciation of the many recent innovations in online mathematics, physics, astronomy and chemistry.
