Organizing committee: Martin Guest (Tokyo Metropolitan University),
Sanae Kurosu (Tokyo Metropolitan University), Yoshihiro Ohnita (Osaka City University),
Takashi Sakai (Osaka City University)
AIM: A brief introduction to some principles of mathematical
visualization, using Java. The tutorial is aimed at undergraduate and graduate
students, and anyone who wishes to enter the subject. The mathematical visualization
software 3D-XplorMath will be used to illustrate these principles, as well as
the Java progranning software Eclipse. No prior experience with Java is necessary.
Computers with 3D-XplorMath and Eclipse will be provided for registered participants,
if necessary.
HOW TO REGISTER: Please send a message to Takashi Sakai ([email protected]) stating
(1) your name, university, and position (non-students) or year of study (students)
(2) whether you have any prior experience with Java or Eclipse

Wednesday, 31October:
10:30-??? Workshop on the Java version of 3D-XplorMath (schedule depends on number of participants)
INFORMATION ON 3D-XPLORMATH:
The Java version of 3D-XplorMath, called 3D-XplorMath-J, is currently under development. A preliminary version can be downloaded here (participants will be provided with the latest version). This software runs on most types of personal computer.
The Mac OS version of 3D-XplorMath (which is more complete) can be downloaded here
INFORMATION ON ECLIPSE:
Eclipse is a Java programming environment. It can be downloaded here This software runs on most types of personal computer.
