Weird Fields Winner, Spring 2005

By exploring the relationship between mathematical and visual representations of functions, students are better prepared to study electric and magnetic fields. A new field mapping program has been specially created for this purpose. Many students enter their designs into a 'Weird Fields' contest that takes place each semester.

On display is a visual expression of the function g(x,y) = sin(x*cos(y) - y*cos(x)), h(x,y) = tan(x). This design, created by George S. Zaidan, was the Spring 2005 Weird Fields contest winner.
