Charles D. Spencer (retired professor ofphysics atIthaca College ) and his students. The software is marketed by Physics Academic Software. The program offers autoscaling, least square fitting, data manipulation, and function plotting. [ [http://www.webassign.net/pas/physics_plot/physics_plot.html Physics Plot ] ]History
Development of Physics Plot began in the early 1980’s. It was originally written using a combination of
FORTRAN and machine code and ran on Technical Education Centers graphics hardware forS-100 bus computers (IMSAI 8080 ). The software was eventually re-written usingQuickBASIC so that it could run on80286 PCs. Development then migrated to VisualBASIC to allow for a graphical user interface.
