Current Projects
Independent Study on Rigid Body Motion
I have created a model of an American football's flight path and how it wobbles during flight. Using Wolfram's Mathematica, I utilized classical mechanics and computational physics to numerically solve the equations of motion and Euler Equations stimultaneously. I then applied the solution to a 3D computer model that I created to see how the football spins/flips/processes.
