About

CloudLabs Sound Waves

Read full description

This simulator recreates a music room with three tuning forks, a soundboard, a sound sensor, and an oscilloscope. The objective of the practice is to determine the frequency of the sound emitted by each tuning fork and the musical note to which it belongs. For its development, it is necessary to use the concepts of frequency, wavelength and propagation time.

About

Drawing with Math

This app offers vector and pixel art editors with tools for free drawing, shapes, and function plotting. It allows for linear transformations of images using matrices, eigenvalues, and rotations, alongside pixel image compression.

Highlights
  • Vector and pixel art editors
  • Free drawing and shape tools
  • Function plotting (Cartesian, polar, parametric)
  • Linear image transformations (matrix, rotation)
  • Pixel image compression
  • Editable greeting cards
Features
Read full description

Our “Drawing with Math (Vector and Pixel Art)” app combines two main components: * uniquely versatile image editors, * various methods of linear transformations of both user-entered and system images. Image editors are available in vector and pixelated forms. The editors offer such options as: * free drawing, * entry of all standard shapes, * entry of regular Cartesian, polar, or parametric function into image editor. List of several visually appealing functions is provided. The App stores 10 most recent user entries for each type. Vector images can be linearly transformed in a variety of user-defined ways: * 2x2 matrix, * eigenvalues and eigenvectors, * rotation by degree, * reflection across a given vector. Pixelated images can be compressed by segments to user-selected rank. Mathematical context for the above is provided, whenever possible. Explanation of image compression algorithms requires significant understanding of Linear Algebra, and is available in our “Matrix Solver Step by Step” app. Several bonus images with animations and editable greeting cards are also available. Suggestions and any other feedback are welcome! Write to us at graphmath@aol.com.
