Abstract
The use of graphic visualization in physics is discussed. The limitations of purely mathematical approach and the intuitive understanding to be gained by a graphic demonstration are discussed. It is suggested that the visualization approach be used in teaching physics, and the use of graphics simulation to understand diffusion and electrical conduction is examined.<>
