Ripon Good Math
Ripon Good Math is an extension of xlispstat to perform many of our
favorite calculus exercises. It is designed with the student in mind: that
means that it seeks to overcome many of the kludgy aspects of LISP
(e.g. Reverse Polish Notation). Plotting is easy, hidden line removal is
available, (REAL!) postscript plots can be produced, help is better,
etc. Check it out, and give me some feedback.
My own additions to the xlisp-stat pantheon are contained, for the most
part, in the following
gzipped tar-file calculus.tar.gz or
zipped calculus.zip. Send me email if you want to try
using this stuff; I can help you if you can't deal with these formats
(gzip and tar have been both been ported to the Mac and PC). See the
README file for some details about philosophy,
different platforms, etc., and how to unwrap the tar/zip files.
You will need to download and use my version of xlispstat if you want to try
any of the following example files.
Luke Tierney, developer of xlisp-stat, has a couple of documents that you
may find informative and useful: these are in html format, so they are easy
to peruse: a technical report (with
lots of interesting examples), and, on a more esoteric note, one on general linear models. I thank Anthony Rossini for converting,
and permitting me to use, these files.
Additionally, you might want to see an html document for the xlisp-plus language
