Find the forces on the object. Find the new momentum (based on the force and the small time interval) Find the new position (based on the velocity and time interval). Simple. And it even works most of ...

The continuation method is developed with a special emphasis on its suitability for numerical solutions on fast computers. Four problems are treated in detail: finding roots of a polynomial, boundary ...

Optical systems employ a rich array of physical effects which are described by well-understood equations. However, for all but the simplest devices these equations are typically too complex to permit ...

If the SINGLE option is not used, PROC MODEL computes values that simultaneously satisfy the model equations for the variables named in the SOLVE statement. PROC MODEL provides three iterative methods ...

Humans have problems with quantum mechanics. We have excellent intuition about the motion of a tennis ball tossed in the air, but what about an electron trapped in a box? The tendency is to use the ...
