Re: [sympy] Solving constant acceleration motion problems

Hi Jason, Yes, I picked a trivial example to mainly illustrate the API I'm working with. The Symbolism/Physics module I use there can solve more complex problems (more examples are on the github project page). With a library like this, instead of selecting which equations to use, you describe

Ed, Cool. Something like that would be a nice contribution to the mechanics module. You could write a similar class in sympy mechanics but it could use the mechanics api for the underlying computations. Jason Jason moorepants.info +01 530-601-9791 On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 8:14 AM, Eduardo

Eduardo, The example you show is somewhat trivial. Can't you just write a few lines of plain ole SymPy to solve most college physics problems? Having such a verbose class in the C++ example seems to defeat the purpose for learning college physics. You could formulate a problem like that with

Hi Eduardo, I'm not sure how closely this aligns with the type of problems you're working with, but the physics.mechanics submodule was written for multibody dynamics problems (http://docs.sympy.org/0.7.2/modules/physics/mechanics). Right now, what it does well is generate the symbolic

Hello, I'm interested in a library which can solve constant acceleration motion problems (i.e. problems you see in in college-level physics courses). I didn't see anything in the sympy.physics module that seemed to hit upon this directly, but maybe I missed something. Is there a library out
