MAPPING
FIELDS APPLET
|
|
| This applet
allows you to see how various analytic vector functions look
in a "grass seeds" representation, letting you visualize
the vector functions more clearly. You can also explore the
set of curves which are perpendicular to your analytic function
(these are equipotentials if the your function corresponds to
an electrostatic field). Enter the x-component of your analytic
vector function in the top text box, using standard convections
(i.e. "*" for multiplicaton, "/" for division,
"^" for exponents). Enter the y-component of your
analytic vector function in the bottom text box. Then choose
either "grass seeds" or "equipotentials"
depending on what you want displayed.
