The phenomena of deterministic chaos and fractal geometry are described in a simple and “naive” form, with the main purpose of stressing the great significance of theory in the context of deterministic chaos and pointing out the role of the mathematical tool in determining a framework capable of describing and explaining many natural phenomena. […]
A random error analysis casually led to the identification of a systematic error. This suggests a new use for inaccurate chronometers. […]
The aim of this article is to contribute to the study of the problems related to the on-line use of the computer in the Physics Laboratory. Differences between traditional lab-activities and on-line computer based lab-activities will be illustrated by describing the use of a Data Acquisition System (DAS) for the analog quantities and time intervals.
