Computational Physics for UnderGraduates (CPUG)

Material is being developed to integrate a broad array of visualization tools, particularly for 3-D data sets, into the new curriculum for the CPUG program. Below are three examples of how to visualize a 3-D data set using different tools. Each one uses the same basic data generated by modification of a Java program from PH265.

• Maple: Data set is read into Maple and plotted. Maple allows for interactive rotation of the generated plot.
• Mathematica: Data set is plotted in Mathematica and then output in a form that can be posted on a web site.
• VisAD: A Java system for data visualization.
