Project Abstract
This paper describes how the Processing programming language may be used to
simulate a number of wave phenomena. Pulses and waves in a taut rope are
modeled mathematically and computationally. The models are used to simulate
wave motion and wave interference. Particular attention is paid to the simulation of
beats and standing waves. Actual Processing code is interspersed throughout the
text and suggestions are made for further study.
