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.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Je n’ai pas lu attentivement tout le livre, mais il contient beaucoup d’information intéressante.Il peut-être vraiment intéressant pour enseigner de la mécanique à l’aide de simulations numériques.J’espérais qu’il aille plus loin dans la programmation avec Maxima. Les programmes sont très cours et utilisent peu de structure informatique telle que les boucles et les tests if. C’est la raison pour laquelle je ne met pas 5 étoiles.
