6 Computing Software Matlab: a programming language for matrix-vector operations, with good graphics and visualization capabilities Maple: a programming language for symbolic computation Mathematica: not licensed by SOE

7 Examples of Matlab Plotting curves and surfaces Run “plot_fx.m” to see how to plot curves. Run “plot_fxy.m” to see how to plot a surface. Run “plot_Cities_pop.m” to see how to read in data, plot populations of 6 cities vs time, and use legend to label curves. Online Matlab manuals

8 Examples of Matlab (continued) Visualization of motion GUI (Graphical User Interface) First run “calc_2body.m” to generate the numerical solution. Then run “visualize_1.m” to visualize the motion. Run “ODE_4.m” to use the GUI. Run “demo_color.m” and / or run “demo_grayscale.m” to see the effect of image compression.
