File Information
Description

A gui simulation and animation of three masses connected by either (1) four springs to two walls, or; (2) three springs to one wall. These two cases are programmed in two separate .m and .fig files.

The gui allows changes to the masses and spring constants, and presents the normal mode oscillations and a random linear combination of normal modes.
