3d plotting software for vectors

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for efficient 3D plotting software for vectors, as users find Maple slow for this purpose. GeoGebra is mentioned as a preferred tool for 2D vectors, but it lacks 3D capabilities. Participants suggest exploring resources like the Educational Software Directory and Electrostatics 3D for potential solutions. The focus is on finding software that can handle 3D transformation matrices effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of 3D transformation matrices
  • Familiarity with vector algebra
  • Basic knowledge of plotting software
  • Experience with Maple and GeoGebra
NEXT STEPS
  • Research 3D plotting software alternatives such as MATLAB or Python's Matplotlib
  • Explore the Educational Software Directory for additional tools
  • Learn about 3D visualization techniques in software like Blender
  • Investigate the capabilities of Electrostatics 3D for vector plotting
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, educators, and students involved in vector algebra and 3D transformations who require efficient visualization tools.

does anyone know an easy to use 3d plotting software with vectors? i have been using maple for some things but 3d plotting vectors and transformations is really slow in maple. i really like geogebra but it can only do 2d vectors. any suggestions?

ok thanks i will take a look at those. i am doing the 3d transformation matrices on vectors and the algebra is quite nasty. it is hard to figure out once there are a few matrices. i have no idea if the results are correct without a drawing or picture.

cheers
