*******[ MATHEMATICAL SOFTWARE from the UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA ]*********** ** The math programs below are a collection of slide shows primarily ** ** graphical. These are images which would be difficult or impossible ** ** to draw on a board. Some of these are animated and some "zoom" in on ** ** the function. They will be marked as "SHOW" in the description line. ** ************************************************************************** ********[ You need 640k memory and CGA to run these programs ]************ **************************[ SLIDE SHOWS ]********************************* ODESHOW.ZIP 128946 11-12-89 Math software from U of Arizona. "SHOW" Ordinary Differential Equations. Samples including a one parameter family of curves, the US Population and logistic growth, the cooling of coffee and Newton's Law, the Euler and Runge Kutta methods and their fallibility damped free vibrations, building a function from its series solution, and Bessel functions. FUNCTION.ZIP 120758 11-12-89 Math software from U of Arizona. "SHOW" Consists of graphs of functions which occur frequently in calculus. Including the everywhere continuous nowhere differentiable function! TROUBLE.ZIP 107694 11-12-89 Math software from U of Arizona. "SHOW" This demonstrates the dangers associated with graphing a function by plotting "enough" points and then rejoining them. VIBSTRG.ZIP 95348 11-12-89 Math software from U of Arizona. "SHOW" An animated set of displays which shows how two travelling waves generate a stationary wave. TAYLOR.ZIP 136752 11-12-89 Math software from U of Arizona. "SHOW" This program shows the Taylor polynomials. FOURIER.ZIP 127818 11-12-89 Math software from U of Arizona. "SHOW" Shows partial sums of Fourier series for the triangular wave, square wave, saw tooth, cosine expansion of sin x, and an interrupted square wave. Gibbs phenomenon and other non-uniform convergence are quite apparent. PDE1.ZIP 101784 11-12-89 Math software from U of Arizona. "SHOW" PDE2.ZIP 85124 11-12-89 Math software from U of Arizona. "SHOW" PDE3.ZIP 93443 11-12-89 Math software from U of Arizona. "SHOW" 3 files (PDE1, PDE2 & PDE3) shows exact solution of a wave equation for three different initial conditions (PDE1 = a smooth hump, PDE2 = a step function, PDE3 = a triangular hump). Various numerical approximations are then superimposed on the exact solution so that the accuracy and stability of the numerical scheme can be visualized.
