Maple Tool 1

This tool is designed to be used with Activity 6 in Section 5.3.

The spreadsheet below represents the partially filled-in Table 1.  Fill in the missing values.  You may either use the commands below the spreadsheet or fill in spreadsheet formulas.  [You can find the format for spreadsheet formulas and cell references by clicking on an entry that is already filled in, and then looking at the entry line at the top of this window.]

In the calculation commands we use 'deltat' in place of Delta*t .

>   

Delta*t sin(Delta*t) sin(Delta*t)/Delta/t cos(Delta*t)-1 (cos(Delta*t)-1)/Delta/t
