From time to time I will mention interesting things you can do with Matlab. If you don't have easy access to this software, you can get a class account on the mathematics servers, which have Matlab and lots of other useful sofware. A nice Matlab program to draw direction fields can be obtained from John Polking's webpage at math.rice.edu/~polking/.
Here are the m-files (Matlab programs) used for the demonstrations in class: dfield5.m, eg_euler.m, eg_logistic.m , eg_bifurcation.m , pplane5.m.
An example of really bad resonance: the Tacoma bridge disaster.
The above link shows an excerpt of the world famous movie of the 1940
collapse of the Tacoma Narrows bridge over Puget Sound, at its time
the third largest suspension bridge in the world. Engineers did not
take into account or underestimated the high winds in Puget Sound
which eventually brought the bridge into a resonance oscillation and
lead to its collapse. There's plenty of information about this event
on the web, just do a Google search.
Prof. Craig Tracy wrote a set of very nice notes introducing ODE from the point of view of the modeling of oscillations. You can download it in Postscript or PDF format.
