Exploration

  1. Now try some exploration. Change the weights and change the lengths, and see if the computer can find a solution. Note that a realistic problem must have the three lengths of string somehow fitting together.
  2. Some real exploration would be to write down the equations describing the three-sphere problem.
  3. Some real exploration would also be to modify the code to solve the three-sphere problem.
  4. Sometime soon you will also be able to explore the effects of different initial conditions.
