Efficiently generate plots of surfaces, contours, and level curves.
Mathematica Maple Module
Exploring the Mathematics Behind Skateboarding: Analysis of the Directional Derivative
The path of a skateboarder is introduced, first on a level plane, then on a ramp, and finally on a paraboloid. Compute, plot, and analyze the
directional derivative in terms of the skateboarder.
Mathematica Maple Module
Looking for Patterns and Applying the Method of Least Squares to Real Data
Fit a line to a set of numerical data points by choosing the line that minimizes the sum of the squares of the vertical distances from the points to
the line.
Mathematica Maple Module
Lagrange Goes Skateboarding: How High Does He Go?
