EJS CSM Textbook Chapter 4: Oscillations

written by Wolfgang Christian

Chapter 4 explores the behavior of oscillatory systems, including the simple harmonic oscillator, a simple pendulum, and electrical circuits. We introduce the concept of phase space and also show how the EJS ODE editor is used to solve arrays of differential equations.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java (JRE).
