SymPy folks, I just finished the last chapter for my multibody dynamics course. It teaches multibody dynamics using SymPy, NumPy, SciPy, matlplotlib, pythreejs, and scikits.odes. You can find the HTML version here:
https://moorepants.github.io/learn-multibody-dynamics/ Once I get the PDF to build, I think it will amount to about 300 pages or so. It is fairly complete and can mostly standalone. Right now, it is essentially a beta version for a 1.0 release, which I hope to make over the summer. I also developed a set of 12 (mostly) autograded computational homeworks for the course, which I may also release. These materials should give a complete picture of how to use sympy.physics.vector and sympy.physics.mechanics (in addition to our documentation of course). I taught about 150 students with the materials Feb till now and the students seemed to take to tools and methods. Most of them didn't know any Python when they started but had background in dynamics. I welcome any feedback and contributions. The repository is here: https://github.com/moorepants/learn-multibody-dynamics/ It's very nice that I can build something like this on top of SymPy and the SciPy ecosystem. Thanks!
