This discusses solution of systems of ordinary differential equations (ODE) in the context of N squared particle dynamics problems |
We start with motivation with brief discussion of relevant problems |
We go through basic theory of ODE's including Euler, Runge-Kutta, Predictor-Corrector and Multistep Methods |
We begin the discussion of solving N body problems using classic Connection Machine elegant but inefficient algorithm |
Note -- Some foils expanded to two after talk and second one is given without audio in script |
