  • Solving a Simple Harmonic Oscillator with Spreadsheets

    Introduction In this post, we’ll explore how to solve a simple harmonic oscillator using the Finite Difference Method (FDM) in spreadsheets. The simple harmonic oscillator is a fundamental concept in physics, described by a second-order differential equation that models various oscillatory systems, such as springs, pendulums, and circuits. While such equations can be challenging to…
