I I want to know which software was used to create vector calculus graph

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around identifying the software used to create the graphs in the 6th edition of the Marsden and Tromba vector calculus book. One user suggests checking the end covers of the book for possible credits or software listings. Another mentions that similar software, such as MatheGrafix, might be used, although they only utilize the freeware version. Additionally, Matlab and Mathematica are noted as potential tools that authors might employ for graph creation. The conversation highlights the uncertainty surrounding the specific software used in the book's illustrations.

Perhaps the end covers of the book will provide the answer. They sometimes list credits, fonts used and software.

Some authors may use Matlab or Mathematica too.

Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'

Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
