We first look at how object oriented programming can benefit physics programming and then look at some more numerical computing techniques that further illustrate program design in Java.

The sections include:

• Object Oriented Programming in Physics - overview of how OOP can benefit physics applications
  
  
• Particle Class - an example of an object in physics
  
  
• Root Finding - find the root of a function with the bisection method and provide a demonstration applet.
  
  
• Newton Methods - find the root of a function with the Newton's (or Newton-Raphson) method. Also, we look at the Discrete Newton, or Secant, Method. A demonstration applet of Newton's method is provided.
