Course Outline What is an Ordinary Differential Equation? Introduce differential equations, and what it means to find a solution. Solving ODEs Numerically Use MATLAB ODE solvers to find and
The Shuttle Launch Here's an example of an application of the math discussed in this course. What could you do if you wanted to estimate the velocity of the space
Space Shuttle Ballistic Trajectory Let's return to the problem of finding the velocity of the space shuttle. If the shuttle followed a ballistic trajectory (that is, like a ball
