Supplements to Articles Published in
Mathematics Magazine
2009
- Supplements to "Modeling a Diving Board," by Michael A. Karls and Brenda M. Skoczelas: Appendix showing the solution to the model, Mathematica notebook, and the same notebook in PDF format.
- Supplement to Keeping Dry: The Mathematics of Running in the Rain by Dan Kalman and Bruce Torrence in the October 2009 issue of the Mathematics Magazine. These demonstrations allow you to dynamically control both weather
conditions and the size and shape of a 3-dimensional traveler as he
runs through the rain. There are two versions. The file Torrence-
RunningInTheRain-Source.nb requires Mathematica (version 6 or
higher). The file Torrence-RunningInTheRain.nbp requires the free
Mathematica Player application, which is available here.
