The numerical solution of classical mechanics problems is described. The method of solution is by application of a Runge–Kutta formula to Hamilton’s equations. Two problems, the elastic pendulum and the compound pendulum, are considered as examples. The use of numerical solutions in teaching mechanics is discussed.
