Hello again, everyone: Here's another installment of a physics/sage lesson for undergraduate E&M:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CmLv7Wrt_u-Bv3RPvpI2JVsJUOpHpW86m_EA1PI18IE/edit?usp=sharing In this one, I have the students make comparisons between a simulation of electric fields using a Phet (http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/charges-and-fields) and exact formulas for the field that they program as function into Sage for rapid evaluation. Hope you find this useful. Tom B.
