Online Curve and Surface programs
SingSurf the full desktop java program, allowing complex 2 and 3 dimensional models from singularity theory and differential geometry to me constructed. For example it can calculate the principle directions, ridges, and focal surfaces of parametrised surface, or calculate the symmetry sets of plane curve.
Jep
A Java library for parsing, evaluating mathematical equations.
- Core Jep
- Jep is a small fast mathematical parsing and evaluation library. It suports various datatype including, BigDecimals, strings and complex number and has a wide rang of built in functions. It is highly customizable allow diferent syntaxes for equations. I am co-developer and its available from singularsys.com.
- Jep Extensions
- Jep Extensions is a set of extensions to Jep which add symbolic operations, fast evaluation, a type system allowing evaluation using matrices and rational numbers, limited structured programing and conversion to MathML.
- GWT Jep
- GWT Jep is a javascript version of the core Jep library using the Google Web Toolkit.
- Examples
-
This simple calculator is made using Jep/GWTJep
