Overview of Visualization in VectorCalculus

• 

See Student:-VectorCalculus for a general introduction to the VectorCalculus subpackage of the Student package.

• 

The visualization commands available in the Student:-VectorCalculus package are:

Binormal

FlowLine

Flux

LineInt

PlotPositionVector

PlotVector

PrincipalNormal

RadiusOfCurvature

SpaceCurve

TangentVector

TNBFrame

VectorField

• 

These commands produce various forms of plots which can help to facilitate understanding of the concepts of vector calculus. By default, most of the commands in this package return a mathematical expression. However, all of these commands take an option of the form output=plot, and many take an option of the form output=animation. Use of either of these options results in the corresponding plot or animation being displayed.

• 

The colors used for the various components of the plots produced by the visualization routines can be adjusted by calling the Student:-SetColors command.
