A further report on physics teaching in Java
DOI: 10.1063/1.3062282
Sprawling 2900 miles along the equator, Indonesia is a big country, rich in natural resources, overpopulated in Java, and struggling to take its place among the nations of the world. East to west it covers more than one tenth the circumference of the earth; from north to south, slightly less than one tenth the distance from pole to pole. An archipelago republic, it consists of four large islands—Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi—and 3000 small ones, many uninhabited. In between in size are the well‐known islands of the former Dutch East Indies: Bali, Timor, and the other smaller Spice Islands.
