Some of my interests have resulted in accumulating or
producing material that might be of interest to
other people; this web site allows them to be easily
reached by other people.
- Literate
Programming
- is a style of computer programming that combines
human-readable documentation with the actual source
code; the goal is to produce "source code"
that is oriented towards humans rather than
computers, while remaining a correct set of
instructions for the computer. This link leads to a
very basic discussion of the underlying
principles, some links that may be of interest, and
some tools I have found useful.
- Scientific
Calculators
- are capable calculators, typically with advanced
graphing capabilities. This link leads to a set of
articles dealing with calculator programs used to
support MA206.
- Mathematica
- is a powerful software tool for working with
mathematics on the computer. I'm a relative
beginner with this tool, but this link points to
some files I've created relative to MA206.
- Tcl/Tk Work Aids
- I've experimented with using Tcl/Tk to
create convenient (by my own definitions) graphical
front ends for the various tools I use. Jade.tcl
is a front end for the Jade DSSSL processor,
designed to be an easily customizable front end for
running specific scripts (as opposed to Pomade,
which is much more configurable, but also requires
more setup). There is a similar program, nuweb.tcl
that does the same thing for nuweb, and can
be downloaded in either the documented
nuweb version or the undocumented Tcl
script.
- Filter: A grep-like search utility
- Filter is a search utility designed to assist in
searhing the SCA Ordinary and Armorial. Joel Polowin
is the original author; this
page provides a Windows executable and a TCL
graphical front end.
My Department of
Mathematical Sciences web page is primiarily of historical interest at this point, but here is a link to it.
