TOOLS FOR VISUALIZATION
Mathematics is the queen of science. That is a well-known quote that describes the role and contribution of mathematics as the fundamental element in science and technology. In its inherent form, mathematics may be difficult to an average man on the street. However, this perception can change dramatically if the approach for solving problems in mathematics is simplified to the extent that it can be understood and appreciated by anybody.
Mathematics will become interesting if a review is made on the way it is presented. Foremost in the list is its friendliness. Mathematics should inherit a friendly look so as not to frighten people. A program or software that serves students, for example, must have friendly interfaces in the form of dialog boxes, list views, graphs, and so on. The user should be provided with ample choices or options in using a software program. The presentation must be clear and must have correctional features when the user makes an error or typing mistake.
One of the most important items in a user-friendly solution to a given problem is the graphical illustration. A curve describes a solid relationship between the variables in the given function. The visual depiction through curve drawing definitely helps in understanding the problem as well as its solution.
In this chapter, we discuss techniques ...
