Classical Mechanics with Maxima: Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics

Autor Todd Keene Timberlake, J. Wilson Mixon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 oct 2015
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.

Caracteristici

Introduces students to the use of a leading open-source computer algebra system The text groups input and output so that students see precisely how Maxima commands are implemented Accompanied by a set of Maxima files that allow students to replicate all of the text's material and to build on that analysis
