- A Simple Interactive Software Package for Plotting, Animating, and Calculating Engelhardt, Larry Physics Calculus Computer Software Open Source Technology Algebra Educational Technology Computer Uses in Education Computation Animation Science Instruction Equations (Mathematics) Mathematics We introduce a new open source (free) software package that provides a simple, highly interactive interface for carrying out certain mathematical tasks that are commonly encountered in physics. These tasks include plotting and animating functions, solving systems of coupled algebraic equations, and basic calculus (differentiating and integrating functions of a single variable). This package was created using Easy Java Simulations (Ejs), so we will refer to it simply as Ejs-Math. It can be downloaded from the Open Source Physics collection of the comPADRE digital library.
