The power of Mathematica is revealed once more by this chapter. It is focused on certain problems of calculus of variations and optimal control. We show how one can transform a theoretical problem of calculus of variations or optimal control into a numeric one with codes and graphs. In this way, the problem and its results are more intuitive. The problems discussed along the present chapter are Zermelo’s navigation problem and optimal guidance for planar Lunar ascent.
