Editor's Notes, October 2004
Update from the Editor on the latest materials published in JOMA
Seashells: the Plainness and Beauty of Their Mathematical Description
In this article, a very simple model is used to describe and generate many types of seashell shapes.
Split Decomp
A Biological ESTEEM module in the Phylogenetics Category. This worksheet performs split decomposition on a set of four DNA sequences and their associated amino acid sequences.
Exponential Functions
A module to explore the properties of exponential functions through models of growth and decay
CalcPlot3D NOT
This dynamic Java applet allows the user to simultaneously plot multiple 3D surfaces, space curves, parametric surfaces, vector fields, contour plots, and more in a freely rotatable graph. This tool is intended as a dynamic visualization and exploration environment for multivariable calculus. Use it to illustrate the geometric relationships of many of the concepts of multivariable calculus, including dot and cross products, velocity and acceleration vectors for motion in the plane and in space, the TNB-frame, the osculating circle and curvature, surfaces, contour plots and level surfaces, partial derivatives, gradient vectors and gradient fields, Lagrange multiplier optimization, double integrals as volume, defining the limits of integration for double and triple integrals, parametric surfaces, vector fields, line integrals, and more.
