Week 10
Real-World Use: Physical applications and Cauchy-Euler equations
10.1: Springs and oscillations
Springs and oscillations are classic examples of physical systems that can be modeled using linear differential equations.
In these notes, you’ll explore how the behavior of springs and the forces associated impact oscillation, based on forcing and damping, and how to solve them.
Cauchy-Euler equations are a very specific type of linear differential equation with a particular form.
In these notes, you’ll learn how to recognize and solve Cauchy-Euler equations.
