FACTORIAL


## Function that calculates the factorial of a number
## Usage : f=factorial(n)
function f=factorial(n)
## Initialize the output
f=1;
## Check whether the input is correct
if ( (n<0) || (rem(n,1)~=0) )
printf("n cannot be a negative number. Exiting...\n");
return
endif
for num=1:n
f*=num;
endfor
endfunction

One Dimensional Harmonic Oscillator-Numerov Method

REALISTIC AND NON-REALISTIC STRINGS

## A 'realistic', 'non-elastic' string, which responses to any ## bending and has stifness. This script takes in the previous ## and the present profiles and iterates to find ## the profile in the next time step. The ratio 'r' is not 1 ## like in the 'non-realistic' string since the speed of the wave ## always less than the speed of the string it should be less than 1 ## for best and most stable solution ##constants dx=1e-2 ## Spatial increment (m) L=2 ## Length of the string (m) M=L/dx ## Dimensionless partition E=1e-4 ## Dimensionless stiffnes function ynext=propagate_stiff(ynow,yprev,r) ## Quick and dirty way to fix boundary conditions -- for each step ## they are the same as the previous step. ynext=ynow; ynow(1)=ynow(2)=0; ##Entering the loop for i=3:length(ynow)-1 ## boundary condition ynow(length(ynow)-1)=ynow(length(ynow)-2)=0; ## Divide the ynext with many terms into three parts for easiness ynext(i)=(2−(2*r^2)−(6*E*(r^2)*...
