NetMath for web based computation |
|
|
NetMath is a web browser which has built in plotting facilities, and communications to powerful computation engines. This makes it possible to do local graphics, zooming, and panning, yet to take advantage of sophisticated computational programs.
Some of the programs that NetMath knows about are: maxima for symbolic computations, pari for advanced number theoretic calculations, octave for linear algebra and numerical routines. Documents contain active and editable items, and the results of computations appear in the document. The specification adds 2 new html tags, as well as some additional attributes. Some course material is available for differential equations, and also for calculus. We also can now, using a special wish, have math symbol display. NetMath runs under Windows, MacOS, and Unix. Look at instructions on obtaining it. NetMath was written by William Schelter, and may be redistributed freely if no modifications are made. |
