COED Transactions, Vol. IX, No. 1, January 1977. Rapid Production of System Phase-Plane Portraits on the EAI 380 Hybrid/Analog Computer.
Marcovitz, Alan B., Ed. – 1977
The method of phase-plane presentation as an educational tool in the study of the dynamic behavior of systems is discussed. In the treatment of nonlinear or piecewise-linear systems, the phase-plane portrait is used to exhibit the nature of singular points, regions of stability, and switching lines to aid comprehension. A technique is described by…

Computer Graphics for Learning Mathematics (NSF College Teacher Workshop, Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, 1974).
1974
College teachers attending an NSF-sponsored summer workshop (1974) produced a series of films showing computer displays of mathematical problems and phenomena. These instructional materials are organized into four units: (1) functions and graphs; (2) analysis; (3) probability, statistics, and simulation; and (4) mathematical models. They are keyed…
