Physlet� Quantum Physics : An Interactive Introduction

Book Description:
Physlet® Quantum Physics contains a collection of over 200 ready-to-run interactive exercises. These “media-focused” critical thinking and problem-solving exercises are based on carefully designed computer simulations generated in Java applets. Physlet® Quantum Physics is based on current educational, experimental, and theoretical research, and gives students an interactive visual representation of the often difficult-to-visualize physical phenomena in quantum physics.

The book is useful for undergraduate courses on the subject.
