This document summarizes computational dynamics methods for solving pendulum, particle, and rod problems numerically. It examines the forward and backward Euler methods, Newton's method, linear and nonlinear state-space representations, and the generalized alpha method. For the particle problem, it analyzes damping and applies the forward Euler, backward Euler, and Newton's methods. It compares error rates with different step sizes for the forward Euler method. The generalized alpha method is explored in detail, analyzing its properties and the effects of varying its alpha, beta, and gamma parameters.
