Hello guys, did you know any free program to plot vector functions? like this one: r(t) = (2cos(t), 2sin(t))
The discussion centers on free programs for plotting vector functions, specifically the function r(t) = (2cos(t), 2sin(t)). Users recommend utilizing Wolfram|Alpha for generating plots and suggest using Mathematica 9 for more interactive 3D plotting capabilities. The specific Mathematica command provided for 2D plotting is ParametricPlot[{2 Cos[t], 2 Sin[t]}, {t, 0, 2 Pi}]. Additionally, a more advanced Manipulate function is shared for interactive parameter adjustments.
PREREQUISITESStudents and educators in calculus, mathematicians, and anyone interested in visualizing vector functions and enhancing their understanding of parametric equations.
MarkFL said:Try entering:
r(t)=<2cos(t),2sin(t)>
at wolfram alpha:
Wolfram|Alpha: Computational Knowledge Engine
It will give you plots of the components, and a parametric plot, as well as the vector length.
