All persons interested in Physics can have access from this site to numerous resources existing in the World Wide Web. These resources are useful to complement printed textbooks as well as other learning aids like laboratory exercises, videos, multimedia, etc.

Some resources require that you use some plug-ins or programs from third providers like Shockwave, QuickTime or CosmoPlayer. We recommend you to download these programs. Cosmoplayer is one of the most popular program o view VRML and/or other three dimensional files. There is a large number of browsers an plug-ins to view these, for the physics very interesting files, in The Web3D Repository

Click on the topic you want to study, which normally appears in blue color. After you have checked it, the blue color is normally converted into a violet color. Then you don’t need to be connected again to Internet, since the files are maintained in your computer in a temporary directory. You can look at them after xxx days, xxx being the number of days configured in your computer net explorer.

We recommend you to configure your net explorer to maintain your files for a period of 999 days. In this way you can save connection fees. Additionally you get a higher velocity in the access to the information you need.

In the same line of the topic you are examining, there appears normally in green color a link to the home page of the author, authors or institution, where the page is hosted. Consequently you can access related works on this topic

Even though you can open simultaneously many windows, for a better performance we recommend you to open only one window. This is especially important when you are running a dynamic simulation!
