Hi

I am a new user of Mathcad, so my first step was to read and used the tutorial, but when I arrived at the "task 3-3" in the solving tutorial i can't do it, in the solve block Odesolve did not work. I try to put the units and the correct labels but there is a problem with the "initial conditions". I put my worksheet for any one who can help me.

thks Claude

ok thanks

In MathCad 15 the symbolic calculation is still present, isn't it?

you were right for the init of u(t) (the oscilating force). but that doesn't solve the problem with Odesolve, I try to solve a 1 order ODE with odesolve, no problem it's only need one initial condition, but when I try a simple second order ODE like : my''(x)+ky(x)=0 ( a simple harmonic oscilator ) same problem with the initial conditions, odesolve needs now two initial conditions.
