My poster, titled “Welcome to Candyland”, displays several parametric 3D plots of different types of candies and their corresponding Mathematica commands. The Frooties display cylindrical and disk inputs, the Whopper employs spherical, and the Dots utilize conical and disk commands. Additionally, I wanted … Continue reading “Welcome to Candyland” →

Economics as a field has a lot of math built into it to apply theory to specific problems. I decided to focus specifically on consumer theory because it was an aspect of microeconomics that I feel has one of the most intuitive applications of … Continue reading “Lagrange Multipliers in Economic Consumer Theory” →

For our project, we wanted to use contour maps and gradient vectors to determine the steepest route out of Park Science Building. To make our contour plot, our first step was to extract the elevation of various points in and … Continue reading “Steepest Route Out of Park Science Building” →

Our project is meant to do more research about spirographs and draw spirographs using Mathematica. We want to know the history of the spirograph. The Spirograph is a geometric drawing toy that produces mathematical curves known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. … Continue reading “The Spirograph: Past, Present, and Future” →

For our project, we used Mathematica to make a model of a taro milk tea with boba that you could get at a boba shop. The parts for the boba tea required a cup, tea, boba pearls, ice cubes, a … Continue reading “3D Taro Tea” →

The foundation of the Kazakh yurt is a cylinder of radius 1.5. The roof is a conical frustum around the line joining the sequence of points: {0, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1.7}. The base radius of the frustum is 1.5 and the … Continue reading “Graphing 3D Models of the Shapes of Ethnical Buildings” →

When brainstorming ideas for this project, as a group we knew we wanted to use some of the different shapes and formulas we learned over the semester and incorporate them into an image on Mathematica. After thinking about parabolas and … Continue reading “The “Flower” of Math” →

For our final project, we modeled a paper airplane moving through space. We graphed various planes and polygons to make up the figure of the paper airplane, as well as different parametric equations to create spheres to model planets surrounding the … Continue reading “Planes in Space” →
