This lecture covers the numerical stability analysis of the harmonic oscillator, focusing on the Euler-Cromer and Verlet schemes. The slides discuss the exponential growth of errors, the conservation of mechanical energy, and the importance of improving digital diagrams. The concepts of numerical stability, growth rates, and symplectic methods are explored in the context of the harmonic oscillator.
