Solving Simple Physics Problems with Python/Scipy - Motion in one dimension

Python Scipy Differential Equations

This will be the first in a series of videos whereby we work through freshman/sophomore physics problems using Python and the Numpy/Scipy packages. The purpose of these videos is get get comfortable using numerical methods and computation resources to solve problems. Because these problems can be solved by hand, it provides a nice way to double check our work. In some cases I will embellish the problems to make them more suitable for use with a computer.

The first video here is on motion if one dimension.We use trapz to perform numerical integration and use a spline to interpolate between data points.
