Visualize Complex Functions Online

By DE Editors

Archimy (Donetsk, Ukraine) released a data-visualization service for plotting 2D and 3D equations that allows students, teachers, and mathematicians to visualize complex mathematic functions online without downloading software.

Visual mathematics plays important role in modern studies and exploration of complex mathematic function. The visual approach helps teachers better explain equations and the behavior of the functions no matter how complex they are, and makes mathematical research easier and the results simpler to demonstrate.

Users can enhance their view of the mathematical functions by plotting their graph in 2D or 3D. Archimy allows drawing any imaginable graph in two or three dimensions in polar or spherical coordinates. The free online service plots live user-controlled graphics and visualizations on demand, allowing rotating the function graph for better visualization.

Archimy, which offers low system requirements and compact code, is not limited to drawing the functions at its website — you can generate an HTML code for the function and use it on your own website as an advanced way of presenting functions to visitors. Archimy lets you define a graph by specifying the formula describing coordinates in the (x,y,z) space. Defining a surface function for only two variables is possible by locking the z coordinate to zero.

Plus, visualizing dynamic behavior is possible with the use of a simple scripting language. Parametric functions are supported by using a set of parameters to specify a function parametrically. Archimy function graphs embed into Web pages without using Java. Archimy uses SWF Flash format, which is supported by all Web browsers.
