Playing Around in the Multivariable Playground

I chose to model a playground because I grew up loving playgrounds and all the unique structures you could find in them. Playgrounds are made up of lots of cool shapes applicable to multivariable calculus. The slide, for example, is … Continue reading “Playing Around in the Multivariable Playground”

Recreating a Chanel Haute Couture Dress Using Mathematica

We decided to use Mathematica to model an iconic dress because both of us are interested in fashion, and wanted to try to apply concepts of calculus to the field. While doing research, we saw a lot of similar shapes … Continue reading “Recreating a Chanel Haute Couture Dress Using Mathematica”

Josiah W. Gibbs and Vector Analysis

Vector analysis, also known as vector calculus, is an advanced branch of mathematics that expands calculus concepts to multiple dimensions. It deals with vector fields and their derivatives and integrals and is closely connected with multivariable calculus. Key concepts of … Continue reading “Josiah W. Gibbs and Vector Analysis”

Modeling Garfield with Multivariable Calculus!

For my project I used the Grapics3D function to model Garfield in Mathematica. I started with the head and body which are both ellipsoids, and I then labeled them as fig1 and fig2 respectively. This allowed me to plug the … Continue reading “Modeling Garfield with Multivariable Calculus!”
