Problem 1 Problem 2 Problem 3 Problem 4 Problem 5 And here is the Jupyter notebook solving the problems using computer algebra (CA). The CA for the five problems was done using the Sympy module, the Python language, and a Jupyter notebook. Click on download to get the Jupyter notebook: (you might need to right […]
