Learn Physics with Functional Programming

Sounds similar to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tgvaughan.github.io&#x2F;sicm&#x2F;toc.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tgvaughan.github.io&#x2F;sicm&#x2F;toc.html</a> Should be fun if you&#x27;re physics inclined.

Expressing physics with more rigorous mathematical or computational formalism might be good: For instance, a force is a triple (sending object, receiving object, force vector). Newton&#x27;s third law says that whenever there is a force (S,R,F), then there is another force (R,S,-F). Also, this makes clear that Newton&#x27;s 2nd law is <i>not</i> a definition of force, because it misses out on two of the three components of a force triple (-- by the way, is there a formal term for what I&#x27;m calling a force triple?)

Calculus makes a lot more sense to me as code so this seems promising :D

Julia might have been more practical - also has a type system, symbolic computing, automatic differentiation, etc. And maybe just functional enough.

Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics published in 2001 uses Scheme (There is a second edition released more recently)

I would like to see Learn Physics with APL.

This is an incredibly cool concept and I would have loved to have this book when I was in undergrad (for Physics).

I am actually studying special relativity and found Jupyter Notebook plus some simple plot helps a lot. I did search Common Lisp as reading python code is hard. A mess for the one doing Lorentz trnasformation. End up I have to do it myself. This is different I suspect if it is in common lisp as it usually can be read, understood and use.<p>Sadly for simple realization for example the twin paradox without acceleration (3 astronauts handing over clock info instead of using acelearation). It is not there. And doing graphic … and simple wedge. Sadly.<p>May be someone here can highlight some sites for this and that.<p>For chapter 14 I wonder whether a Jupiter notebook (which can do Tex if using Matplotlib … have not tested it as I used texshop and screen capture from Matplotlib instead).

Is there an effective way of dealing with anti-commutative algebras like the geometric product in a functional model?<p>Obviously total functional programming is a problem.<p>But the GP greatly simplifies electrodynamics and removing the need to track handedness in your basis is very helpful in my experience.

I feel like the screenshots don’t make the book seem particularly novel or interesting

I have been looking for a excuse to try again to learn Haskell. Also looking for some interesting book to learn material in order to try to get my son interested in science. Thanks for this.

I&#x27;d love a book like this written in Python. Just feedback. I clicked the link and was about to purchase this. The idea of learning physics sounds great. The idea of spending time learning a new programming language that I&#x27;m unlikely to use for anything else sounds terrible.

Does it really teach physics or does it teach Haskell through the way of physics equations?

Funny, I was thinking of doing just this exact thing to learn haskell.

How much of either do I need to know to find value out of this book?

Does this implement symbolic algebra&#x2F;calculus, or is it entirely numerical?

After learning Physics with FP, you can help with Modelica!

Ordered from Amazon, thx.

I wish the title said &quot;Haskell&quot; instead of &quot;Function Programming&quot;. I mean the two aren&#x27;t interchangeable. Was actually hoping for Clojure personally.
