Mathematica & C Home Page
Jens-Peer Kuska
This is the WWW support page for the software related with ``Mathematica
und C in der modernen Theoretischen Physik'', the page for MathGl3d
and other useful stuff for Mathematica . 
ISBN3-540-61489-3
The book is in german and covers classical mechanics, chaotic dynamical
systems, electrostatic and quantum mechanics. I bases on my computational
physics lectures held at the Humboldt-Universität Berlin. It comes
with packages for Mathematica 3.0 and 7 MathLink programs for the
numerical solution of the one and two dimensional Schrödinger equation,
Rydberg atoms, electrostatic field lines, equipotential surfaces, Poincare
sections and classical mechanics. Many Mathematica session show
how Mathematica can replace paper and pencil in physical calculations.
The book will not only show how Mathematica can be used as a tool
for analytical computations. The C-programs show how to use MathLink for
numerical calculations and how to turn analytical results in running programs.

MathGL3d the interactive 3D viewer for Mathematica
with an interface to POVRay. Now the version 1.2 is ready for public use.
MathGL3D is the only free available OpenGL viewer for Mathematicas 3D graphics
for Unix and MS-Windows 95/NT. It can run as standalone program and as
MathLink client. It is not only a interactive viewer it serves also as
an interface to other 3d rendering programs.

the LSystem.m package where original posted
to the Mathematica news group. The updated version supports colors directives
in the strings. The format of the strings is taken from the popular fractint
program

Virtual TeX fonts (95 kByte for
download) to use the symbols in the Mathematica PostScript fonts
together with the most powerful typesetting system. The package comes with
a LaTeX2e style file and manual that explain how to install the fonts.
The fonts and the symbol names are now supported by Mathematicas
TeXSave[] command. The changes from my original submission are, that I
fixed some font dimension parameters for exponent and index placement.
The update fonts can be found on MathSource as well. Many thanks to Jaiyong
Lee for it's continued bug submission and helpful comments.
