Dynamics

The purpose of this Dynamics supplement is to give students an introduction on the process of the modeling and simulation of dynamical systems. Each problem will begin with a real-world dynamical system that will be modeled using concepts from Dynamics. It is intended to supplement the students regularly used textbook to show how the concepts in the book can be used to model real-world problems. These problems are all solved using a 9-step process that was developed to help the student with problem solving. Once mastery of the 9-steps is obtained, the student will have the knowledge necessary to tackle dynamics problems that he/she hasn't seen.
