EZ Math Movie

About

With EZ Math Movie you will be able to make and interact with animations that present mathematics visually. Below is the EZ Math Movie application, and under it are some notes to get you started.

Go

The 'Go' button looks like this: . It can be found on the 'Graph' panel and on two other panels as well. Click any one of these 'Go' buttons to see EZ Math Movie run the introductory program on this page. An animated graph should appear in the 'Graph' panel.

Stop

The 'Stop' buttons look like this: . These are near the 'Go' buttons. Click any one of these to stop the program.

deltaA = 0.05;

aMin = -2;
aMax =  2;

deltaX = 0.5;

setupGraph();

h = get1stInputValue();
k = get2ndInputValue();

x1 = worldXMin;
y1 = a * (x1-h)*(x1-h) + k;

for(x2 = worldXMin; x2 <= worldXMax; x2 += deltaX)
{
  y2 = a * (x2-h)*(x2-h) + k;
  
  drawPoint(x1, y1);
  drawLineSegment(x1, y1, x2, y2);
  
  x1 = x2;
  y1 = y2;
}

a += deltaA;

if(a > aMax)
{
  a = aMax;
	
  deltaA = -deltaA;

  setupGraph();
}

if(a < aMin)
{
  a = aMin;
  
  deltaA = -deltaA;

  setupGraph();
}

EZ Math Movie

This is a Web site that presents an environment that is useful for exploring mathematics. It includes a display much like the type found on a graphic calculator. This display automatically animates. It is a movie controlled by mathematics. EZ Math Movie also includes a printer and several input and output controls. The main feature here, though, is an easy to use language. With it you can express a math idea and see that idea presented as a graph, diagram, picture, or text.
