“…Examples include the MIME project Bajpai et al [2] and more recently the Consortium for Upper Level Physics Software (CUPS) project [3] and the Software Teaching of Modular Physics (STOMP) project [4]. In addition there are now powerful simulation packages available, most notably Interactive Physics [5].…”

The paper looks at ways of using computer software in the teaching of mechanics. The various reasons for using software are discussed to justify the use of software. A number of examples are then considered to show how diå erent types of software can be used. Examples shown are taken from very speci® c types of software, more general simulation software and mathematical software. The paper discusses using software to explore mechanics, to challengè misconceptions' , to make links between mathematical representations and motion and to solve non-standard problems. The paper also stresses the need for structured approaches to the use of software.
