Description |
| Introduction |
 |
Brief introduction to dsolve and DEplot
|
| Euler #1 |
|
Simple blocks of Maple instructions that will do
Euler's method for you.
|
| Undetermined
Coefficients #1 |
|
A simple block of Maple commands that will do all of the dirty work of
undetermined coefficients for you. (A great way to check your
answers.)
|
| Euler #2 |
|
This turns the second-order equation into a system and runs Euler's
method to build an approximate solution. Have fun!
|
|
Resonance |
|
This worksheet generates handles the "general" damped, forced
spring-mass system. It allows you to plot the amplitude as a
function of the forcing frequency.
|
|
Limiting Behavior |
|
This worksheet generates graphs in the phase plane for
spring-mass systems. Some of the commands here can be useful
when you start work on Project 2.
|
|
The REAL Pendulum |
|
This worksheet generates solution curves for the real, nonlinear
pendulum and allows you to compare the results with the linearized
model.
|
|
Competing Species
|
|
This worksheet generates solution curves for a population model where
two species compete for limited resources.
