How to Use Python as Your Physics Calculator
Remember when humans used to calculate all their stuff on paper? Or maybe they were super-tech savvy and instead used a SLIDE-RULE? OK, that was a little before my time. But then this new fancy thing came out. They called it an electronic calculator. Some people surely hated it, but eventually everyone started using it.
But the era of the calculator as ended. Let us welcome with open arms, the new era. It’s not python, it’s just programing. There’s no need to continue with that ancient (and most likely) expensive calculator.
Oh, but you aren’t too familiar with python! Maybe you don’t know where or how to start. Don’t worry, I’m going to go over all the details. It’s going to be great.
Intro to Python
I guess this would be the “hello world” section, but I’m just going to jump into the calculations. Of course the first question: how do you run python? Although there are many options, I’m going to suggest one (and then stick with that method). It’s possible to run (and save) all your calculations online with your web browser. Just head over to trinket.io.
