This project is the first of three parts. I encourage you to try to finish this project ahead ...
In this homework project, you will simulate the Earth going around the Sun, and then generalize your work to other orbits. There is a hints section at the end.
To review the discussion in class: ...
Now we will graduate to second-order differential equations, and solve a DE that we can’t do with pen and paper. The equation of motion for a pendulum is
∂2θ g
∂t2 = −L sin...
