Description
This book guides undergraduate students in the use of Maxima-a computer algebra system-in solving problems in classical mechanics. It functions well as a supplement to a typical classical mechanics textbook.
When it comes to problems that are too difficult to solve by hand, computer algebra systems that can perform symbolic mathematical manipulations are a valuable tool. Maxima is particularly attractive in that it is open-source, multiple-platform software that students can download and install free of charge. Lessons learned and capabilities developed using Maxima are easily transferred to other, proprietary software.
Table of Contents
Introduction to Maxima.- Numerical Methods.- Newton's Laws of Motion.- Dynamics of Single Particles.- Oscillators.- Nonlinear Mechanics and Chaos.
