    Lenses

    A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

    What is in a lens?

    Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

    Who can create a lens?

    Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

    What are tags? tag icon

    Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.

    Definition of an open lens

    Any member is allowed to add content to an open lens, even if the lens belongs to someone else. You can think of open lenses as lists of similar works related to the same subject, authored by various collaborating organizations or members. Content added to open lenses is reviewed for approval or deletion from the lens.

    A Computational Introduction to Programming, Mathematical Modeling, and Elementary Mechanics

    Collection type: Course

    Course by: Rafael Escalante. E-mail the author

    Collection Properties

    Summary: Computational Computer Science - Zero introduces students to the basics of programming through multimedia, and then uses these programming techniques to examine basic functions that draw lines and curves. At the end of the course students use these same techniques to explore the principles underlying familiar physical processes. Computational CS-Zero uses easily taught and adaptable programming concepts as a framework for modeling the behavior of physical objects. The course reinforces the concepts and intuitions of pre-calculus and mathematical modeling by engaging students in hands-on simulations of physical systems. Computational CS-Zero teaches the foundations of programming while promoting mathematical competence necessary for academic success. Computational CS-Zero is sponsored by NSF's CCLI program and is a participant in the Computing Alliance of Hispanic Serving Institutions.

    Institution: The University of Texas at El Paso
