TMU-OCAMI WORKSHOP

Tutorial: mathematical visualization with Java
Tokyo Metropolitan University, Department of Mathematics and Information Sciences (Building 8)

29-31 October 2007

 

POSTER (small, in Japanese)

Organized in conjunction with Osaka City University Advanced Mathematical Institute (OCAMI)

Lecturers: Richard Palais (University of California, Irvine), Takashi Sakai (Osaka City University)


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

(3) whether you will bring your own laptop

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.
