Classical Mechanics with Maxima Paperback / softback
by Todd Keene Timberlake, J. Wilson Mixon
Part of the Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
