Mathematical Packages

The software listed below as "polished" is mostly available for distribution and comes with documentation. The "diamonds in the rough" are installed locally, but are typically not supported, have little or no documentation, and may have bugs.

Polished Software

AlgCurve -- An interactive application for plotting implicitly defined curves (NeXT).
CRSolver -- An interactive application for exploring conformal mappings (NeXT).
Devaney's Chaos Lab -- A sequence of units introducing concepts from dynamical systems (Mac)
kaleido -- A program for computing kaleidoscopic construction of uniform polyhedra (unix, SGI)
Kaleidotile -- In interactive application for experimenting with sphere tessellations (Mac).
Kali -- An interactive application for experimenting with symmetry groups (Mac, SGI).
Linktool -- A program for producing nicely rendered images of links. (NeXT).
link_edit -- a link editor and renderer for X Windows.
QuasiTiler -- An interactive application for experimenting with quasi-periodic tilings (NeXT, Mac).
scatter2graph -- A program for describing a surface by randomly sampling a function. Surface can be viewed with Geomview (unix).
SphereDraw -- An applications for playing with spherical geometry (NeXT).
StringBean -- A program for graphically entering links in Snappea format. (NeXT).
TesselManis -- An interactive application for creating escher-like tessellations of the plane (Mac).
qhull -- Qhull is a program which computes convex hulls, voronoi vertices, Delaunay triangulation s and halfspace intersection in any number of dimensions (unix, Mac).

Diamonds in the Rough

BrusselSprouts -- BrusselSprouts draws hyperbolic manifolds and computes cusp data. It would qualify as polished, except for the fact that it appears to be only partial ly installed. (NeXT)
CriticalDimension -- A slick but specialized demo illustrating how energy in a grid of springs depends on dimension. (NeXT)
Groups -- Multiplication tables for finite groups up to order 20, showing their centers, etc. (NeXT)
Henon -- This program iterates area preserving Henon mappings and plot orbits. (NeXT)
ODE -- An interactive application for visualizing flows of ODEs. (NeXT)
PDE -- An interactive application for visualizing flows of PDEs. (NeXT)
PlaneToShpere -- A program that illustrates bubbling off singularities in harmonic heat flows.
RubikAlgebra -- This demo displays group theoretic information about Rubik's cube as the user manipulates it on screen. (NeXT)
Spring -- A virtual spring laboratory, with graphics and theoretical background. (NeXT)
