The Eigenvalue Problem: An Example with Rigid Body Rotations and Python
Offered By: Dot Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the eigenvalue problem through a practical example of rigid body rotations using Python. Learn how to find the principle axes of rotation for a rotating rigid body and visualize the results with Web VPython animations. Dive into the code for a 4 mass rotator system and gain insights into solving eigenvalue problems for 2x2 matrices. Enhance your understanding of linear algebra concepts and their applications in physics simulations.
