This article provides a simple introduction to Einstein’s Special Relativity, using Prof Hermann Bondi’s k-calculus that he introduced to us in the King’s College, London Mathematics department in the late 1960s.

The Restricted Three Body Problem
This article explores the Restricted Three-Body Problem (RTBP), focusing on the dynamics of a spacecraft influenced by two larger bodies. It includes methods for analyzing motion using numerical solvers, stability investigation of Lagrange points, and the effect of varying mass ratios. Programming tasks and analyses are provided to illustrate behavior in gravitational fields over defined trajectories and conditions.
Chaos in the kitchen!
Any outcome is possible, including the kitchen sink, with highly non-linear dependence on initial conditions. For more. See http://www.ace.gatech.edu/experiments2/2413/lorenz/fall02/
