    Modeling and Simulation (Spring, Mass, Damper system)

    Homework Statement 1. The first part of the problem was to find a transfer function. Output is the displacement of the mass (mass of pinion is negligible) 2.The next thing to do was find the poles, which I believe means set the denominator=0 and solve for s. 3. The next thing to do was find...

    Radiometry, photocurrent in optics simulation

    Hi all, I have to estimate a photocurrent produced in the following simulation setup. Photodiode (detector) and LED (spaced 2cm) lie on one axis, oriented toward a wall (radiometer film) which is parallel to the axis and at a distance of about 10cm from the axis. How much photocurrent would an...

    Teaching finance with Monte Carlo simulation

    Some of the social sciences suffer from "physics envy". This malady causes educators to inject an unnecssary amount of mathematics into the curriculum as a way of gaining scientific letgitimacy. Sadly for most undergrads, the math actually gets in the way. I wrote a paper in which I describe the...
