1999 In general, studying the equations of motion of any
physical system it is necessary to solve differential equations.
However, very seldomly the corresponding solutions can be found
in analytical form. Thus, usually only systems which are simple
enough will be analysed in a physics course at universities.
Situation changed considerably, however, with the availability
of computer algebra systems. Using Mathematica in many cases we
can easily find either analytical or numerical solutions of the
equations of motion and visualize them even in the case of an
intricate physical system. The analysis of such systems
therefore promotes better understanding of the underlying
physical principles and may help to develop physical i
