For this assignment you can either do a little book work or a little programming. If you want to do book work, do two problems from chapters 7 and 8. You can pick the problems and which chapter you pull them from.
I you would rather do some coding, write a simple implementation of one of the other types of simulations we have talked about in class. That means you either do a simple collisional simulation, a model of a few Disney rides with fastpasses, or a quick implementation of cloth using a particle mesh.
