The fields of computer-assisted instruction and intelligent tutoring systems have had few vehicles for sharing ideas or programs. Different backgrounds and settings meant reading different journals and attending different conferences. The purpose of this book is to foster a mutual understanding of shared issues and contemporary approaches so as to further powerful educational applications of computing. It is unique in drawing on both the intelligent tutoring systems and computer assisted instruction communities. Each chapter provides an in-depth discussion by leaders in these fields of current work, focusing on instructional programs -- their design, use, and evaluation. The editors and authors have made extensive efforts to ensure each chapter's clarity and readability for both communities.

Matter & Interactions is a calculus-based introductory physics text that reflects a modernized view of physics. It stresses reasoning from powerful physics principles and integrates contemporary insights such as the atomic nature of matter, quantized energy, and relativistic dynamics throughout the curriculum. Students engage in the full process of creating and refining physical models. Computational modeling is integrated to allow students to apply fundamental principles to more complex, realistic systems, and to explore the possible ranges of behavior of physical models. Joining Ruth Chabay and Bruce Sherwood for this edition as authors are longtime collaborators Aaron Titus (North Carolina State University), and Stephen Spicklemire (University of Indianapolis) who have made great impacts on the new video series, interactive figures, and simulations. The new edition is thoughtfully updated with extensive content revisions, including chapter and section level learning objectives, clarified and simplified initial presentation of key concepts and techniques, and the introduction of angular momentum earlier, before collisions.
