Using a Spreadsheet to Study the Oscillatory Movement of a Mass-Spring System

In this paper we develop the study of the oscillatory movement of a mass-spring system to illustrate the use of differential equations in the development of mathematical models for the simulation of physical situations and the interest on developing computational modules using a spreadsheet to be us...
