Maple Project III This project is taken from study of earthquakes shaking buildings in section 7.4 of the text, pages 437-438. Here is the precise assignment, with coding hints:

Maple Project II This project is about mechanical vibrations, sections 5.4-5.6 of the text. This theory underlies fairly sophisticated models which seek to explain what went wrong with the tacoma narrows bridge. Everything lives at
tnarrows
Maple Project I This project has two parts. In part 1a you are asked to explore Maple a little bit, by solving some equations and plotting some functions. Part 1b is the SLC version of the Newton law of cooling project in section 1.5 of the text. Thanks to Professor Gustafson for writing the documents below.
You should create separate files for each part, with answers clearly exhibited and text explanations as necessary. You may wish to begin with the .txt files below, and modify them in Maple as you work through the project. You will be handing in hard copies of the files. For our section (2250-3) this project is due on Friday September 12, but getting started on 1a ASAP would be a good idea.
2250mapleL1a-F2003.pdf Directions and hints for 1a - read on-line or print out.
2250mapleL1a-F2003.txt A little bit of Maple code to get you going on part 1a. Save this file and open from Maple as "Maple text", and in "text" format. After you insert Maple prompts you can cut and paste the various commands to try them out.
