Description

Task1: numerical integration of the harmonic oscillator

Page content

Numerical integration of the equations of motion for a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator using three different methods:

  1. Euler method, basic and improved 
  2. Predictor-Corrector 
  3. Verlet algorithm 
We provide two ways to run the task:
  1. Jupyter Notebook on epfl server (Recommended): This link will open the Jupyter notebook for this task on EPFL's Noto server.
  2. Download to local computer: This ZIP archive contains the material needed for the first exercise session. Create a directory dedicated to the exercises of this course in your personal workspace, download the archive there and unpack it (unzip -x Task1.zip). Then change directory to Task1/ and start following the instructions given in this PDF. Indication about the codes can be found here.

 The correction of Task1 is given in this PDF.
