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.

Line integral for planar curves


Vector Fields in 2D
Instructions:
1. Change the components of the vector field by typing, for example:
x^2sin(y) , sqrt(y^2+x)exp(x/y)
2. Change the Scale or Vectors density to provide a better visualisation of the vector field.
3. Zoom In or Out (or drag the plane) to change the domain.

Basic examples of velocity fields


Parabolic transformation
Instructions:
A transformation is defined by the equations and .
1. Drag the BLUE point defined on the boundary of the square (left-side). Observe the effect of the transformation on the right side.
2. Drag the RED point to change the position of the square. Observe the effect of the transformation on the right side.
