Does anyone have a project that they did in Elementery Differential equations in college that I could use? I would really really appreciate it!!! I would prefer if it was from the Elementery Differential Equations book written by Nagle and Saff. Thanks!!

I'm not familiar with that particular book, but the differential equations of simple harmonic motion are interesting. You can make the system as complex as you like. I've studied SHM in both maths and physics. I simulated SH oscillators with operational amplifiers; in other words an analogue computer. First you simulate a frictionless pendulum, then you introduce friction so the oscillations die away, then you introduce forcing terms of various frequencies to see what happens; like pushing a child on a swing. If you're really clever, you can introduce hysteresis (delay), and extra degrees of freedom (flexible joints in the pendulum), and vary the Q of the system (how sharply you can tune it to the resonant frequency). It's about the most open-ended project I ever saw. I did it in second-year physics. At its simplest, it's just sixth form maths, but you can turn it into an impossibly complex exercise in chaotic systems if you're clever.

there is not any math equation that supplies the respond!! there are a number of equations that would in effective condition the information; some could then bypass up, others down. You dont be attentive to after the day that temp = sixty 4, there will be a surprising warmth wave!
