The various scripts below do not provide solutions to the projects, just helpful bits of code for easier exploration. Also, the data is already entered.
Money Matters 2: Some simple codes for computing interest for this project.
An introduction to solving ODEs numerically in Maple using built-in solvers. Also demos for Euler, improved Euler, and Runge-Kutta fourth order methods.
These notebooks and scripts support exercises in Sections 3.1 to 3.3.
This first set of scripts/worksheets show how to fit a function to a sample data set and could form a useful template for Exercises 3.4.1 to 3.4.3, 3.4.8 to 3.4.11,
and the projects in Section 3.5.
This set of scripts/worksheets shows the computations necessary to fit both k and P in the Hill-Keller model to Usain Bolt's 2008 Olympic data, as was presented in
examples in the text.
Here are various scripts and worksheets to facilitate the exercises in Section 3.4. The basic worksheet/script above concerning fitting a function to
sample data is also helpful.
Computation of Laplace Transforms and Solving ODEs with the Laplace Transform
These worksheets/scripts provide basic instruction in using Maple to compute Laplace transforms
symbolically, and to solve ODEs, including Heaviside and Dirac delta functions.
Worksheets/scripts to illustrate the incubator PID control method of Section 5.6. In particular, a minor variation of these were used to produce Figure 5.22 in
Example 5.44.
