a. Address
Alfred Gray
Department of Mathematics
University of Maryland
College Park, MD 20742
Email (NeXT Mail): gray@bianchi.umd
b. Category: Mathematics
c. Description
MoebiusStip.ma is a Mathmatica Notebook that illustrates using color
why the Moebius strip is nonorientable but a surface parallel to it is
orientable. Explanations of the mathematical concepts and Mathematica
techniques are given. The notebook display on the screen and prints out
in color
d. Use
MoebiusStip.ma is used in a differential geometry course to illustrate
the notion of nonorientability, and to illustrate programming techniques
in Mathematica.
e. MoebiusStip.ma will work with Mathematica version 2.0 and greater
and with NeXTSTEP version 2.1 and greater.
