Good afternoon, campers! In this session we'll be
talking about the physics of projectiles, e.g. a baseball in flight,
looking at the equations of motion of projectiles, with and without turbulent air resistance
using numerical simulation methods to solve those equations
plotting the results and figuring out the minimum speed and optimum angle to hit a home run
comparing what happens at Fenway to what happens in Denver
You'll need to
make a new folder on your computer: C:\Users\guestmech\techcamp-2017
download some Matlab files (below) and put them in that folder
start Matlab from the application menu
open up that folder in Matlab, either from the menu or by typing cd C:\Users\guestmech\techcamp-2017 at the command prompt

-
Matlab files for you to download and run on the computer.
Same things as interactive notebooks in the Julia programming language
