The symposium topic for this meeting of the Ohio Section was "Computers in Teaching." At the opening session on Friday afternoon, held at Strosacker Auditorium, Nasser Sagheb, Knowledge Revolution, presented an invited paper entitled "Interactive Physics-Simulation;" and Professor Patrick Tam, Humboldt State University, presented an invited paper entitled "Mathematica in Physics Education." A banquet was held Friday evening, after which Joseph Prahl, CWRU and a backup payload specialist for Shuttle Columbia, spoke on "Experiments Aboard the Shuttle Columbia."
At the Saturday morning session, also held at Strosacker Auditorium, there were two invited papers. Professor Robert Brown, CWRU, presented "A Day in the Electronic Life of Freshman Physics," and Professors G. Chottiner, C. Taylor, and D. Schuele, all from CWRU, discussed "Computational Physics, Signal Analysis, Computer Controlled Experiments-An Integrated Approach."
In addition to this there were 53 contributed papers, 36 of which are to be published in the Bulletin. Total registered attendance for the meeting was 161. The registrants included 12 retired members, 50 students, and 19 participants in the Strangeness and Charm workshop.
Future meetings of the Ohio Section are scheduled for the following locations:
Fall, 1994 - University of Toledo
Spring, 1995 - Youngstown State University
Fall, 1995 - University of Dayton/Air Force Institute of Technology
The Ohio Section of The American Physical Society extends a special
