-
- An IBM PC interactive simulator for systems of ordinary differential or
- difference equations. Intended for educational use or small research
- problems. Assumes basic undergraduate knowledge of maths, but has been used at
- high school level. Especially useful for demonstrating chaotic systems.
- Public domain version available free.
-
-
- Features of full version 2.6:
-
- Easy-to-use menus with mouse support.
- Built-in text editor.
- Equations entered in natural notation, stored in ASCII files.
- Up to 18 coupled ODEs.
- Automatic plotting of solution (CGA,EGA,VGA).
- LaTeX and postscript output of graphs for publication-quality graphics.
- Output of solution to file.
- Several different ode algorithms, up to 6th order.
- Many example files included, including chaotic.
- Printed manual with tutorial and reference section.
-
- A few features are lacking in the public domain version.
- Used at many Australian and US universities, and other sites around the
- world. Author: Keith Briggs.

- To get public domain version 2.6
- --------------------------------
-
- Format: zip archive. USE BINARY MODE TRANSFER !
-
- Anonymous ftp to wuarchive.wustl.edu (edu/math/msdos/diff.equations)
-
- Sample Unix session:
- % ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu
- ftp> anonymous
- ftp> <your username>
- ftp> cd edu/math/msdos/diff.equations
- ftp> bin
- ftp> get ode26.zip
- ftp> quit
-
- Now get the file `ode26.zip' to your PC with ftp or kermit (binary again!),
- to a clean directory ODE. Then
-
- C:\ODE>pkunzip ode26
- C:\ODE>more <readme
- C:\ODE>ode
-
- After trying it, please mail your comments and suggestions!
- And give ode26.zip to your friends.
