Mathematical Visualization

Visualization has gained increasing attention and credibility in many fields of science. However mathematicians have been slower to adopt these technologically based methods. In part, some of the resistance is due to the limited understanding of what visualization can actually bring to mathematics.

The projects described here represent ongoing work being done at the CECM between researchers in Mathematics, Computing Science and Philosophy.

Mathematics: Visual Constants Calculator; Zeros of Random Polynomials with Coefficients 0 and 1
Philosophy: n-Traces: Visualizing a Problem in Philosophical Logic
