This lesson shows how Mathematica plots a wide variety of polar graphs. By varying the parameters in the equations, students can learn how the structure of the equation ...

The notion of primality is, in many respects, elusive. In this column we describe several ways in which Mathematica can help us answer the age-old question, “Is n prime?”

We demonstrate automata, a Mathematica/C++ hybrid system, that facilitates computation with finite state machines. In particular, we describe two applications of the system ...

We explore a "polar zonohedron function," which creates a wide variety of polyhedra bounded by rhombs and parallelograms, and obtain further variations using existing and new ...

These files are updated data and program files to the notebook "The Layer Model of the Nucleus" that appeared in V2n2 of "Mathematica in Education." These files supercede the ...

This Mathematica 3 notebook illustrates Hammond Organ drawbar settings with a custom function to allow the user to enter them as used in many organ related books, and then ...

We give a simple constructive proof of a factorization theorem for scalar rational functions with a non-negative real part on the imaginary axis. A Mathematica program, ...

2001 version: Dbg is designed to make it easier to debug Mathematica code. A full description is available in the notebook debugger_doc.nb. Dbg uses the frontend to help to ...

The last couple of years symbolic computer algebra packages, such as Mathematica, Maple, and Matlab, have developed into a very user-friendly and high-level prototyping ...

Mathematica functions are presented to plot flows and animate one-parameter bifurcations of planar systems of ordinary differential equations. The functions are used to ...
