Loughborough Wave Lab is an educational learning app designed to aid students in their understanding of electromagnetic wave concepts in an engaging and entertaining way! Features include: • Virtual pond • Persistent Sinusoidal Pulses • Virtual Ripple Tank • Waveguide Simulator • Young's Double Slit Experiment • Custom Simulation Mode Loughborough Wave Lab is intended to accompany teaching on Electromagnetic phenomena and to provide students with an interactive way of seeing these principles in action! Educators can now author their own custom simulation files, upload them to a web server and then have Loughborough Wave Lab execute the simulations using a WiFi or cellular data connection to download the configurations and display them to the user. This uses the new, open-source configuration standard CEML which has been introduced by the developer (available at www.github.com/danielrbrowne/CEML)

About

Polynomial Regression

Features
Read full description

Polynomial Regression is your calculator and, more importantly, learning tool. You will be able to: * Construct polynomials of up to 20 degrees from either real or complex roots. * Interpolate polynomials from points by Lagrange, Newton or Vandermonde methods and Quadratic or Cubic splines. * Perform Least Squares approximation by orthogonal projection, with or without QR factorization, or partial derivatives. * Learn about each of the algorithms with derivations, proofs, step by step demonstrations, and visual tools. * Have an option to enter data by either typing or tapping on XY plane, and save data sets between program runs.
