Abstract Title: Results for a Cheap Off-the-shelf Duffing’s Oscillator: Or how to make a meaningful laboratory from nothing
Abstract: In the context of the Junior laboratory at Metropolitan State University Denver/University of Colorado-Denver a nonlinear dynamics experiment (Duffing's oscillator) was carried out with off-the-shelf components.  The analysis was performed with free open source software (SciLab). In this presentation the details of the experiment and the results will be described.  Consequently, this experiment will become one of ten experiment options for the joint upper-division physics laboratory program at MSUDenver/UCD.
