Teaching Practice of Theoretical Mechanics Based on Maple Procedure
Zhang Hong-junb · Research and Exploration in Laboratory · 2011
By the powerful symbol,visualization,convenience,promptness and image features of the Maple,a few concrete questions of theoretical mechanics were simulated and explained.The visualization teaching of the theoretical mechanics based on the Maple procedure was achieved.The Maple procedure also has strong ability in numerical computing and data visualization.It can quickly and easily deal with the theoretical mechanics questions for differential equations of freely falling body motion and field strength and potential of gravitational field of finite length of the line segment.At the same time,it can quickly draw out the two-and three-dimensional graphics of the numerical solutions.The visualization of movement of Foucault's pendulum and Lorenz equations were enumerated.The Maple of the solution process for Lorenz equations were presented.The examples show that the using of Maple to solve the differential equation can improve the visualization of the complex motion and the calculated results.
