In the previous chapter (section 2.2.2), I introduced the example of a cold front to illustrate the concepts of temperature gradient (change in space) and tendency (change in time). There, I asked you to calculate the change of temperature in Miami, considering the temperatures in Atlanta and Miami, the distance between them, and the speed of the front (figure 3.4). Figure […]
In the previous chapter, we made the first working version of what will become a realistic water wave simulator. Contained in a single program, it included data declaration and initialization, arithmetic expressions and assignment to calculate the solution, a do loop to advance the solution forward in time, and a print statement to output the results to screen. With 26 lines […]
