Description:

The idea of the divergence of a vector fieldIntuitive introduction to the divergence of a vector field. Interactive graphics illustrate basic concepts.Parametrized curve and derivative as location and velocityDescription of a parametrization of a curve as the position of a particle and the derivative as the particle s velocity. Illustrated with animated graphics.An introduction to the directional derivative and the gradientInteractive graphics about a mountain range illustrate the concepts behind the directional derivative and the gradient of scalar-valued functions of two variables. An introduction to conservative vector fieldsAn introduction to the concept of path-independent or conservative vector fields, illustrated by interactive graphics.Spherical coordinatesIllustration of spherical coordinates with interactive graphics. Plotting line graphs in RBasic commands to plot line graphs with one or more series in RAdded Jan. 16, 2017For-loops in RHow to use a for-loop in RAdded Jan. 12, 2017Visualizing the solution to a two-dimensional system of linear ordinary differential equationsAn interactive plot of the the solution trajectory of a 2D linear ODE, where one can explore the behavior of the solution in the phase plane and versus time.Added Sept. 20, 2016 More new itemsThe Math Insight web site is a collection of pages and applets designed to shed lighton concepts underlying a few topics in mathematics. The focus is on qualitative description rather than getting all technical details precise. Many of the pages were designed to be read even before students attend lecture on the topic, so they are intended to be somewhat readable introductions to the basic ideas.You can browse the pages organized into threads, which are sequences through a subset of pages organized by particular topics. An index can help you find pages discussing a particular term. You can also search through the pages, applets, and image captions. A few pages allow you to change the notation system used to render the mathematics.We hope Math Insight can help you understand key mathematical concepts. We welcome comments on how we can improve it.
