The American Journal of Physics

Several years ago, The American Journal of Physics published an issue devoted to the teaching and learning of quantum mechanics with the expressly stated hope that the articles will help people enhance their teaching (7). In describing the articles contained in this issue, the editors stated ...

Needless to say I am not an advocate of parallels between modern science and Eastern mysticism as popularized by the likes of Capra and Zukav (Capra 1976 Zukav 1979). For example see my critique of the alleged parallels between Eastern mysticism and modern physics as published in the American Journal of Physics (Scerri 1989). 

There are hundreds of possible methods for solving the radial equation (2.5) for confining potentials, and many new suggestions can be found by reading journals of mathematical physics or computational physics as well as the American Journal of Physics and similar publications [24]. Let us describe briefly two methods the Numerov method and the Multhopp method. 

This citation from The Art and Science of Lecture Demonstration by Charles Taylor, that I found in the American Journal of Physics, is a perfect motto for this chapter. 

Information about this splendid compilation came to me from a chemist, Robert Weast (1985), who was editor from 1952 until 1988... 37 years He also informed me that the creation (jointly by the American Chemical Society and the American Institute of Physics) of the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data, which began publication in 1972, was encouraged by the results of a survey which indicated how widely the Rubber Bible was used. Weast describes this journal as a truly outstanding source of critically evaluated data . In saying this, he underlined the crucial role of editors and contributors critical judgment in selecting data for such compilations. David Tide, the editor of the journal, in 1989 succeeded Robert...

Henry Barton, who had worked in Kemble s molecular spectroscopy research group at Harvard, was an influential scientific administrator in the early 1930s. In 1931, he became director of the American Institute of Physics (AIP), the recently founded consortium of five American physics societies. William Buffum, an officer in the Chemical Foundation, was influential in providing considerable financial support for the chemical community and for the Journal of Physical Chemistry, edited by the maverick Cornell University chemist Wilder Bancroft. 103...
