Programming and Problem Solving by Connecting Diagrams
This is a demonstration of the VIP (View Interactive Programming) program. VIP allows the user to create scientific programs or to solve physics problems by connecting diagrams that represent physical and mathematical principles. The following example shows a specification for calculating the mass of the sun, following Newton's reasoning, by equating the gravitational attraction of the sun on the earth with the force required to keep the earth in circular motion.
