I love including numerical calculations in my introductory and advanced physics courses. I find that including coding in the introductory physics course forces students to think in different ways to ...

Numerical computation and mathematical software form the backbone of modern scientific inquiry, facilitating the approximation of real numbers, the solution of complex mathematical models, and the ...

I created another screen cast showing how to get started with a numerical calculation for one of my classes. In this case, the students are attempting to model the motion of an object falling with air ...

Created in 2003 by INRIA (the French national institute for research in computer science and control), the Scilab Consortium has joined the Digiteo Foundation in July 2008. The Scilab Consortium, ...

Transversal homoclinic orbits of maps are known to generate shift dynamics on a set with Cantor-like structure. In this paper a numerical method is developed for computation of the corresponding ...

The well-known error estimates for the numerical computation of eigenvalues of symmetric integral equations are extended to the computation of the eigenvectors. The ...
