Abstract. In this paper, we give a survey of our own software for
differential geometry and its extensions [4, 3, 2, 5]. Furthermore we deal
with a few applications to represent some interesting classical results
in mathematics and physics. Originally it was the aim of the software to
support teaching by visualising the results from differential geometry.
But it also has applications in research and in physics and the engineering
sciences. The software is open, that is, its source files are available
to its users. Hence it can be extended. It uses OOP, and its programming
language is PASCAL.
Key words: computer graphics, visualisation, animation.
VIZUALIZACIJA I ANIMACIJA U MATEMATICI
I FIZICI
U ovom radu dajemo kratak pregled svog sopstvenog softvera za diferencijalnu
geometriju i njegovih proširanja [4,3,2,5]. Nadalje obadjujemo nekoliko
primena da bi predstavili neke interesantne klasične rezultate iz matematike
i fizike. Početni cilj softvera bio je podrška predavanjima pomoću vizualizacije
rezultata iz Diferencijalne geometrije. Ali on takodje ima primene u istraživanjima,
a takodje i u fizici i inženjerskim naukama. Softver je otvoren, što znači
da su njegovi izvorni fajlovi dostupni korisnicima. Zbog toga se može proširivati.
Koristi OOP, a radjen je u pogramskom jeziku Pascal.
