| 11 | +## Concept and Focus |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +This page organizes the materials for contributing authors to the upcoming book on Computing in Physics Education. This book was developed from an initial request by editors from the [Institute of Physics](https://iopscience.iop.org/) to author a book on the integrating of computing into physics courses. The concept has developed into an edited volume that focuses on a variety of stories from different persons and places around the world who are teaching computing in their physics courses. |
