PhantomPhysics is a physics equation solving program geared towards students in a High School physics class. This program can solve for just about any variable for any equation you might encounter in High School physics. PhantomPysics is written in Java.
The mechSym toolkit is a set of classes that support
modelling classical mechanics systems with particular interset in robotic designs.
Classes simulate sensors, motors, mechanical linkages, and power.
