    Graphing Program
AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a graphing program that can create both 3D graphs and manipulate 3D objects, similar to Mathematica and Google Sketchup, with the capability to integrate images into LaTeX. They have found basic programs inadequate, as in-TeX graphing is limited to 2D, and gnuplot only produces wireframe models. The user is unsure if Mathematica can fulfill all their requirements. Suggestions for suitable software are welcomed, and a link to a resource with potential programs is provided. The discussion highlights the need for advanced graphing and 3D manipulation tools.

Long story short, I've been looking for a program that can produce graphs like mathematica and manipulate 3D objects like google sketchup. Also, I'm going to work these pictures into LaTeX. I'm not sure if a program like this exists (unless maybe mathematica itself can do it).

I have basic programs like graph and I tried in-TeX graphing but those are limited to 2D. I also tried something called gnuplot, which produces 3D graphs just fine but is limited to wire frames and I need solids.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
