the teaching of problem solving. This puzzled me. I don't know how
to do problem solving without understanding concepts. But it all became
clear with John's use of the word algorithms. Then I remembered that
there are teachers who do teach physics as a set of algorithms - formulas
to be dusted off and used in various circumstances.
For shame! Although there are unfortunately texts that
encourage this kind of teaching.
