ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the use of dynamic functions for creating interactive simulations. It introduces image processing, graphs and networks and show some of the commands added to the most Mathematica versions for advanced calculus. One of the most interesting functions in Mathematica is Manipulate. This function has numerous options. The image processing functionality of Mathematica has greatly improved in the latest versions of the program. The chapter shows the Mathematica commands instead of describing how to use the toolbar. Graphs and networks is another area where the latest Mathematica versions incorporate new functionality: guide/Graphs and Networks. A graph can be represented using Graph, a function with many options.
