Science and Mathematics Simulations UQ
Juan Carlos Ponce Campuzano, Feb 20, 2017

These Science and Mathematics Simulations (SciMS) and associated teaching packages were developed to assist student learning at undergraduate level at the University of Queensland. This book contains all the simulations designed with GeoGebra from https://teaching.smp.uq.edu.au/scims/ The worksheets are divided into chapters according to the menu at the site.

Sequences of real numbers
Consider the sequence defined by for . In the following simulation you can plot a finite number of terms of the sequence.
Things to try:
- Drag the slider n to explore the values of .
- Change the function defining the sequence.
- Example: (-1)^n/(sqrt(n+1))
- Example: sin(n+1)/(2*n)

Partial derivatives and Tangent plane
This simulation shows the geometric interpretation of the partial derivatives of f(x,y) at point A in . It also shows the tangent plane at that point.
Things to try:
- Drag the point A in the xy-plane or type specific values on the boxes.
- Select the object you want to show: Tangent plane, fx or fy.
- Use right click and drag the mouse to rotate the 3D view or click on View button.

Vector properties and basic operations


Basic operations with complex numbers
Instructions:
- Select an operation (right screen): addition, subtraction, multiplication, division or a linear combination.
- Drag the points to change the complex numbers, or use the input boxes (left screen).
- Enter your answer in cartesian form to show a geometric representation of the result.
