Aim: By computer simulation, the aim is to impart a more intuitive understanding of the laws of motion. At the same time, using computer simulation, it should be possible to solve more complex and technical relevant tasks and to demonstrate the importance of non-linear dynamics phenomena. Modeling as a process and a tool is stressed throughout the course.
Contents: Three-body problem. Elements of analytical mechanics. Chaos in conservative and dissipative systems. Fundamental concepts of numerical analysis. Solution methods for ordinary differential equation. Practical considerations concerning computersimulation.
