The author develops a series of strategies for giving students a deeper understanding of the concept of function.

The Weierstrass Zeta function is used to provide an effective implementation of Costa's minimal surface.

The 1D nonrelativistic Schrodinger equation possessing an irregular singular point is investigated. We apply a general theorem about existence and structure of solutions of ...

Book/diskette combination that deals solely with Mathematica graphics. Offers step-by-step instruction on how to create computer graphics with Mathematica. Contains a vast ...

Mathematica provides functions for the aesthetic drawing of graphs. Algorithms implemented include spring embedding, spring-electrical embedding, high-dimensional embedding, ...

This notebook defines two functions to do time arithmetic. TimeAdd[tstart, dt] increments a start time by a given amount. TimeBetween[tstart, tstop] gives the difference ...

This notebook illustrates how to create a function which generates plots having a user defined style for the tick-marks. Although it illustrates the ideas using 2-D plots the ...

Package PolynomSeries contains tools for dealing with multivariate polynomial series. Surprisingly, Mathematica lacks tools for working with multivariate polynomial series ...

The AuthorTools add-on included in Mathematica 4.2 must handle notebooks of all sizes for a variety of reasons. This talk will discuss the AuthorTools utility functions ...

The package gives a quantile method and a maximum likelihood method of fitting stable parameters to a sample. The maximum likelihood method is quite accurate and most useful ...
