Abstract	In this paper it is demonstrated how the free, and easily downloadable, software package called SMath Studio can be used to set up a model of alpha-particle scattering. The basic physics of the motion of an alpha-particle in the nuclear coulomb field is used to produce a simple stepwise computer algorithm which, in conjunction with a novel set of units, is incorporated into an SMath worksheet with graphical output. It is also shown how the computed results can be compared with traditional theory. (As Provided).
