Abstract
A Graphical User Interface (GUI) teaching tool to teach different vectors modules to college and undergraduate students have been developed. The Physics and Mathematics students can benefit from these executable spreadsheets for practicing vector algebra with minimum inputs and through diagrams and answers as output. The spreadsheets are employed to calculate vectors resolution, addition, projection, and multiplication because they are ubiquitous. Some GUI on vectors available online gives the results, whereas this GUI shows the calculation steps to reach the results, which helps learn the subject effectively. The developed GUI also assists the mentors regarding their lab work and exams to make different papers with answer keys.
期刊介绍:
The Revista Mexicana de Física (Rev. Mex. Fis.) publishes original papers of interest to our readers from the physical science com unity. Language may be English or Spanish, however, given the nature of our readers, English is recommended. Articles are classified as follows:
Research. Articles reporting original results in physical science.
Instrumentation. Articles reporting original contributions on design and construction of scientific instruments. They should present new instruments and techniques oriented to physical science problems solutions. They must also report measurements performed with the described instrument.
Reviews. Critical surveys of specific physical science topics in which recent published information is analyzed and discussed. They should be accessible to physics graduate students and non specialists, and provide valuable bibliography to the specialist.
Comments. Short papers (four pages maximum) that assess critically papers by others authors previously published in the Revista Mexicana de Física. A comment should state clearly to which paper it refers.
