ugh, 75 views and no one knows! here's an update: I figured out the algorithms, but I'm getting a straight line not the oscillatory one I should be getting. %Complete the orbit of a comet around the Sun. (1) Have the program stop when it has completed one orbit. %(2) Have the program...

Hey guys, I've been fighting this problem all weekend with little avail. I only know a little Java, but we have this final project in MatLab, a program I don't really know.Homework Statement I need to compute the orbit of a comet using the Runge-Kutte, Euler and midpoint methods. The program...

thanks, I actually have a primer for it (i think it's the not so short intro to latex) that one of my prof's recommended, but I'll definitely use that when I need more help! And thanks a lot to you Mark!

to me, it sounds like I have 2 matrices... a 2 equations, 2 unknowns kind of deal. would that then be my basis? I suppose one of my problems is being lost in this chapter

Homework Statement Find the basis for the subspace S of the vector space V. Specify the dimension of S. S={a a+d} where a,d are elements of R and V= M2x2 {a+d d } Homework Equations I guess I know the standard basis for M2x2 are the [(10 00) (01 00) (00 10) (00 01)]...
