3D-XplorMath-J is a mathematical visualization application, i.
e., a computer program for “seeing”and experimenting with a wide variety of mathematical objects or “exhibits.” A good way toconceptualize the program is as a Virtual Mathematical Museum—that is an implementation insoftware of the collections of physical models of surfaces, polyhedra, etc., that can still be seenin display cases of many mathematical institutes. However, because of its virtual nature it ispossible for it to contain “Galleries” of many more (and more abstract) kinds of visualizablemathematical objects, such as Fractals, Dynamical Systems, Waves, Conformal Maps, etc.

3D-XplorMath-J is written in the Java programming language, and to use it you should have Java 5.0or higher installed on your computer. It is a complete revision of an older Pascal program,3D-XplorMath, that runs only on Macintosh computers. While it still lacks some features and exhibitsof the Pascal program, 3D-XplorMath-J, Version 1.0 is ready for serious use and has unique featuresof its own. In particular, the Java version has numerous improvements both in the user interface andin the way that exhibits are presented.
