Euler integration of kinematic differential equations for position and orientation
We can integrate kinematic differential equations to determine both 1) where an object will be and 2) what orientation it will have after a specified amount ...

Computational modelling of a bouncing ball using differential equations of motion
Using differential equations of motion (EOMs) governed by Newton’s 2nd law we can describe the dynamics and kinematics of objects in motion. In this post I d...
