3D-Filmstrip:
A Mathematical Visualization Program
Mathematicians have always used the "mind's eye" to visualize abstract
objects and processes in mathematical research. The Computer allows
students to see classical textbook concepts not only in three dimensions
(3D), but also in rotation and morphing animations that can bring
the known mathematical world to an exciting precipice of new insights
and conjectures. 3-D visualization allows mathematicians to do mathematical
experiments with greater ease and offers a bridge toward understanding
more difficult mathematical concepts. Richard Palais is the author
of 3D-Filmstrip, an excellent mathematical visualization program that
is constantly being updated. The latest release (version 7.1) is designed
to run on Macintosh computers, system 7 or PowerMacs.
