Abstract :
This study emphasis new approach in learning physical and mathematical phenomenon by using various computational Techniques (i.e MATLAB AND NEWTON software). These software provides a completely innovative way of learning and exploring multi objective programming, Elementary Mathematics, Mechanism, Thermodynamics, Electricity and Optics by creating a virtual 3D lab on a computer. These Techniques facilitate learner to establish a clear connection between the real world and its mathematical model as well as develops their model creating skill which is time saving. Sensitivity analysis is also represented for the given model. The virtual 3d-lab facilitates the students to understand the process of performing physical act frequently and also provides programming approach for scientific inquiry
