Final project repo for Physics 5070
This repository contains the code necessary to run a double pendulum model using Python. User will find the necessary Conda environment along with double pendulum function and testing suite for the function. In the Jupyter Notebook, user can explore how the path of a double pendulum is impacted by changes in the initial conditions of the simulation. Further, there is content to show how to animate the simulation and discussion on the double pendulum and it's applications to weather forecasting.
Note to user before running program in Jupyter Notebook: To ensure the double_pend function from double_pendulum.py is able to be imported correctly, launch Jupyter Notebook from the top level of the cloned repository (/Path/to/repo/Sizemore_PHYS5070_Final)
