MathDL NewsThe latest in the articles on François-Joseph Servois has appeared in Loci: Convergence, Algebraic Formalism within the Works of Servois and Its Influence on the Development of Linear Operator Theory by Anthony J. Del Latto and Salvatore J. Petrilli, Jr. See the article by Roberto Cardil, Kepler: The Volume of a Wine Barrel in Loci: Convergence. If you want to see illustrations from Kepler’s Astronomia Nova, go to the article by Frank Swetz, Johannes Kepler’s Astronomia Nova. Also, check out Convergence’s newly revised on this day (in math history) feature at the Convergence homepage (right-hand side). Paul Seeburger has a new applet, CalcPlot3D, an Exploration Environment for Multivariable Calculus, featured in Loci: Resources. This dynamic Java applet allows the user to simultaneously graph multiple 3D surfaces, space curves, parametric surfaces, vector fields, contour plots, and more in a freely rotatable 3D plot. Note the clear representation of curves formed by surface intersections. Until further notice, MAA Reviews and Classroom Capsules and Notes are accessible to everyone without any restriction. Now is a great time to see what those sites have to offer. |
