MATHEMATICA
Notebooks and Packages

This is a collection of notebook files and packages for use with MATHEMATICA.

• anemometer, a program which simulates the behavior of an anemometer in a varying wind, to allow for calibration, by Jim Fink.
• arbitrary_weight_rule, a program which accepts a formula for an arbitrary (but nonnegative) weight function over an interval, and determines the points and weights of a corresponding Gaussian quadrature rule, by Fukuda, Katsuya, Alt and Matveenko.
• buckling_spring, a program which illustrates solutions of the buckling spring equations, by Jim Fink.
• burgers_characteristics, a program which solves the time dependent inviscid Burgers equation using the method of characteristics, by Mikel Landajuela.
• calendars, a library which computes simple calendrical quantities, including the number of days elapsed between two dates.
• collatz, a program which reads an integer from the user and computes the Collatz sequence based on that integer.
• commands, programs which demonstrate the use and behavior of some Mathematica commands.
• duel_simulation a program which simulates N repetitions of a duel between two plaers, each of whom has a known firing accuracy.
• equation_of_time, a library which evaluates the equation of time.
• felippa, a library which defines quadrature rules for lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, pyramids, wedges, tetrahedrons and hexahedrons.
• filum, a library which can work with information in text files.
• frobenius, a library which is useful for the Froebenius problem, also known as the postage stamp problem.
• general_triangle_symbolic_integral, a library which seeks the integral of a function over a general triangle.
• graphics_examples, programs which illustrate how various kinds of data can be displayed and analyzed graphically.
• lorenz_equations, a program which demonstrates how solutions to the Lorenz equations can be synchronized.
• math_166, notebooks which were used in Math 166, Calculus II with Mathematica, at Virginia Tech in 1995 and 1996.
• mathematica, a directory of examples which illustrate features of the Mathematica language.
• mhd_control_movie, a program which displays and animates the output data from a magnetic hydrodynamic control problem.
• newton_cotes, a program which calls Mathematica functions to determine the points and weights for Newton-Cotes quadrature rules.
• polynomial_roots, a program which calls Mathematica functions to determine the points and weights for Newton-Cotes quadrature rules.
• quadrule, a library which evaluates certain quadrature rules needed by the C, C++, FORTRAN90 and MATLAB versions of QUADRULE.
• semicircle_integrals, a program which evaluates the integral of a function f(x,y) over the unit semicircle -1 <= x <= +1, 0 <= y <= sqrt ( 1-x^2).
• struveh, a library which evaluates the Struve H function.
• test_values, a library which computes a few selected values of various mathematical functions.
• timestamp, a library which returns the YMDHMS date as a timestamp.
• truncated_normal, notebooks which compute various quantities associated with the truncated normal distribution.
• uniform, a library which computes elements of a uniform pseudorandom sequence.
