Mathematica Demonstrations For Calculus, Bryan Krueger
Mathematica Demonstrations For Calculus, Bryan Krueger
Opportunities for Undergraduate Research Experience Program (OURE)
The objective of this research was to generate useful classroom demonstrations of fundamental Calculus concepts. Herein are the code listings of two Mathematica "programs." The first displays individual plots of two dimensional Taylor Series approximations. The second set of code creates a TNB frame on a three dimensional space curve. Folowing this introduction is a complete listing of each "program" along with an example of its function.

Opportunities for Undergraduate Research Experience Program (OURE)
The purpose of this project was to create a collection of computer illustrations that would represent certain concepts of calculus. These illustrations were to be performed on a calculus based program called Mathematica. Another of the underlying objectives of this project was the potential of using these illustrations as classroom demonstrations. These demonstrations might convey an idea that is not easily understood on just verbal communication alone.
