Visualizing Physics with VPython
Description
VPython is an open source package that includes a programming environment that works with the major operating systems (Windows, Unix, Linux, Mac OS X).  In a very short time, it is possible to use VPython to develop physics simulations that enable 3D visualizations.  Several examples will be shown, including a visualization of the "slingshot effect" used to send spacecraft to the outer planets, and a visualization of the docking process for a space station.
