Kingston, Ontario, 3-Mar-1998--Eureka Software Inc. (www.eureka.ca) today released Newton's Aquarium: A Solar System Construction Set 1.0 for Mac OS. This initial release comes after nearly a year of research and development. Company officials indicate that Newton's Aquarium is the first in a new line of educational physics products to come. Newton's Aquarium is an interactive physics package that helps students visualize and understand Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. While building and exploring their own solar systems, students are exposed to many of the core concepts in kinematics. Newton's Aquarium was designed for use in senior high school and college physics courses. Features: * Interactive real time n-body simulation * Display of velocity, acceleration and force vectors * Centre of mass and conservation of momentum * Variable G and distance exponent * Real units (mks) * Cut, copy & paste, export to picture file and print * Toolbars * Number of universe documents limited only by memory * Sample universes and stationery pads included * Complete balloon help for all menu and dialog items Requirements * Mac OS 7.0 (or later) * 4 megs free memory preferred (2 megs minimum) * 68040 or PowerPC strongly suggested During the last few months of development, physics teachers from across North America, Europe and Australia were invited to test and review Newton's Aquarium. Tom Barta, Contributing Editor for MacNow Maganize, had this to say "The interface was elegant and intuitive, and all the features I tried worked. Actually, I loved it. It will make Newton's laws real for people." Tom also holds a Ph. D. in organic chemistry. Pricing for Newton's Aquarium starts at US$100 for a single school copy and US$20 for subsequent copies. School site licences are available for US$400 and larger licensing can be negotiated. A student edition is also available for US$28. A free feature-reduced demo can be downloaded from Eureka's web site (www.eureka.ca) for evaluation.
