Modelling a Simple Mechanical System.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Morland, Tim – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 1999
Provides an example of the modeling power of Mathematics, demonstrated in a piece of A-Level student coursework which was undertaken as part of the MEI Structured Mathematics scheme. A system of two masses and two springs oscillating in one dimension is found to be accurately modeled by a system of linear differential equations. (Author/ASK)
