Physics 212, 2017: Lecture 8

Back to the main Teaching page.

Back to Physics 212, 2017: Computational Modeling.

We will talk about Runge-Kutta methods of solving differential equations, and about passing variables to functions. I will add additional notes later on, but for now please use these lecture notes http://web.mit.edu/10.001/Web/Course_Notes/Differential_Equations_Notes/node5.html .

You will write a different differential equation and will solve it, to show that Runge-Kutta 2 has error Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle O(dt^2)} . Please submit your work.
