Depicts the path in 3 dimensions of a projectile being affected by the gravity of the Earth and the Moon using both the Classical 4th Order Runge-Kutta Method and Euler's Method. A special thank you to Professor Mark Edelen who taught the Mat-lab Programming & Numerical Methods class at Howard Community College. He created a program similar to this that simulated Apollo 13's flight path which inspired this program, and believed in my ability to create such a program.
