• Day Seven 24 Jan 2000
  • Maple file ploting a graph over a region like we want to be able to do for our project.
  • Improvements to the green package.
    • CheckBoxMenuItems for the Functions. This required some of the improvements to SurfaceModel and the introduction of the List.
    • RadioButtonMenuItems for the Mode.
    • Constructor requires a java.util.List of Function3f's to display.

• Day Six 19 Jan 2000
  • More on packages and jar files.
  • Improvements to green.
• Day Five 14 Jan 2000
  • The green package. Demo of a project from last time to use as a base for our project1. This student project was picked partly because of its lack of identifying features and not because of correctness. Introduction to jar files and packages.
• Fourth Day Links 12 Jan 2000
  • Inheritance and Intefaces Example of a base class, Parent.java, and a derived class, Child.java. Examples of an interface, Define.java, and classes that implement the interface, Use.java Use2.java. An unrelated class Other.java which "has" a Parent rather than is a Parent.
• Third Day Links 10 Jan 2000
  • The Tabs Program A blow by blow convertion of tabs.c to Tabs.java with several inprovements. Exceptions, try/catch, and some object oriented questions. This page conatins old information about my account in math and cs that is no longer true.
• Second Day Links 7 Jan 2000
