چکیده
Enhancing Mathematical Graphical Displays in Excel through AnimationThe use of spreadsheets in teaching mathematics has increased significantly in recent years. One can implement mathematical algorithms, models, visualizations, and applications naturally and effectively through interactive spreadsheet constructions and creative graphical displays. This paper demonstrates techniques that enable educators to design animated graphical displays in their spreadsheet constructions in order to produce powerful classroom demonstrations to enhance mathematical understanding, while also presenting students with new ideas for incorporating attractive visual components in their mathematical assignments and projects.

A graphical tool for specification of reactive systems
A prototype of a simulation tool with graphical visualization and animation facilities has been implemented for the DisCo specification language. This paper describes the basic ideas behind it, with emphasis on the visualization and animation facilities. The DisCo language is designed so that formal reasoning can be used to ensure critical properties of the specification. Simulation with animat...

متن کاملThe next generation of graphical user interfaces: infkmation visualization and better window management
To support the perceptually rich and informationabundant user interfaces of the future, displays must be larger with much higher resolution. With such displays, the worrisome flood of information can be turned into a productive river of knowledge. Windows with 40-60 icons or scrolling lists with 20-40 items are inadequate for dealing with the complex tasks that users increasingly face. Advancin...
متن کاملMS Excel as Tool for Modeling, Dynamic Simulation and Visualization of Mathematical Functions
One of the most important tasks in teaching of mathematics is to use a suitable method for developing of theoretically acquired knowledge. Drawing on his own experience, the authors have found that the best method to be used is the system approach. System approach is closely connected to the modeling and simulation. Theory of the systems, modeling and simulation are disciplines with its own the...
متن کاملGeometric abstractions for constrained optimization of layouts . ∗
We discuss implementation of algorithms for constrained optimization, based on CLOS objects representing standard mathematical abstractions like affine spaces, vectors , and linear transformations. These abstractions simplify using the optimization library in varied applications, facilitate animation, carry no significant performance penalty (compared to traditional Fortran implementations). Ou...
