DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb 3 4 DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb Quick Facts and Examples: * Site license for student and faculty personal machines: (http://support.appstate.edu/software/mathematica-wolfram) * (Video Tutorials) Hands-On Start to Mathematica: (http://www.wolfram.com/broadcast/screencasts/handsonstart) (Differential Geometry) Space Curve with Velocity and Acceleration Description: For a defined vector-valued function in one variable, explore the graphical representation of the velocity and acceleration as vectors at a point (or arrows). * Sample Code and Basic Syntax (screen shot):
DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb 5 6 DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb (Differential Geometry) Space Curve with unit Tangent and Normal Description : For a defined vector - valued function in one variable, explore the graphical representation of the unit "Tangent" and "Normal" as vectors at a point (or arrows) and their relationship to Curvature (Differential Geometry) Curvature of Curve on 2D Surface: (Euler, circa 1760) and (Meusnier, 1776) Description : For an explicit function in two variables, explore Euler s result relating the curvature of a curve on a surface to the curvatures in the principal directions.
DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb 7 8 DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb (Differential Geometry) Coordinate Lines and Directional Derivative of f : R 2 R Description: For a defined function of 2 variables, explore the concept of coordinate curves, curve in a defined direction, and the directional derivative. (Differential Geometry) Directional Derivative of f : R 3 R
DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb 9 10 DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb (Differential Geometry) Chain Rule and Jacobian Df where f : R 2 R 3 Description: For a defined parametric surface and coordinate curve, explore the Jacobian as a crucial component of the Chain Rule. (Differential Geometry) Spherical and Cylindrical Frame Field Description: Select from Spherical or Cylindrical coordinates to explore these frame fields.
DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb 11 12 DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb (Differential Geometry) Spherical and Cylindrical Co-Frame Field Description: Select from Spherical or Cylindrical coordinates to explore these co-frame fields. (Differential Geometry) Adapted Frame and Co-Frame on Surface Note: There is a dependency in this demo on the Maple code found in the tensoraddons package. Description: After compiling Maple tensoraddons code for SetupSurfaceAdaptedFrame Example 2, explore the relationship of the surface adapted frame to its co-frame.
DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb 13 14 DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb (Differential Geometry) Frame and Co-Frame Note: There is a dependency in this demo on the Maple code found in the tensoraddons package. Description: After compiling Maple tensoraddons code for SetupFrame Example 3, explore the relationship between the frame and its co-frame. (Differential Geometry) Vectors are (1,0)- Tensors Description: Show that a vector can be (a) viewed as a 1D storage device and (b) transforms appropriately. Since both (a) and (b) are satisfied then we can view vectors as a (1,0)- tensor.
DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb 15 16 DifferentialGeometryDemos.nb (Differential Geometry) Acceleration Decomposition (ToDo...see Maple code tensoraddons for the time being) (Differential Geometry) Transport Equations Note: There is a dependence in this code on the Maple demo GeodesicAndTransportEquations of tensoraddons. Run the Maple demo first to generate the necessary starting data for this Mathematica demo which then handles all of the plotting. Description: For a given 2D or 3D coordinate curve and with 3 or 4 ICs, respectively, explore the Transport Equation solutions.
