Morante, Antonio; Vallejo, Jose A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
We exhibit a simple model of a plane landing that involves only basic concepts of differential calculus, so it is suitable for a first-year calculus lab. We use the computer algebra system Maxima and the interactive geometry software GeoGebra to do the computations and graphics. (Contains 5 figures and 1 note.)

Ray Tracing in the Classroom.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Majewski, Mirek – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1997
Ray tracing is a method that allows the creation of photo-realistic images on a computer. This article describes a shareware ray tracing program called PovRay and includes some ideas on how PovRay can be used in teaching and in 3-D geometry, physics, and other high school and university subjects.
