Re: T. BASIC or visual (Excel?)



You can simply use Excel itself (without using its Visual Basic
extensions) to numerically solve such differential equations. The basics
(pardon the pun) of this approach are outlined at my website:

Now I desire some assistance:

I've programmed my Cassio with the second order diff. eq. [d^2 I/dt^2
=
Q (R,C,L,sine(wT)]**. I could add a sub r. to plot the resulting i, t
values, but would rather use my computer. LK kindly gave me T. BASIC,
but I notice others of you use Vis. BASIC. Is it worth the time
learning it (Long ago I used BASIC on several computers, so I should
learn TB very quickly).

**prompted by a recent thread.
