SOFTWARE
Here is some computer and calculator software you may find useful.
Linear Regression
- Download the Linear Regression software.
- View the document All About Linear Regression.
Projectile Motion
Computer program PROJECTL.F90 will compute the launch angle needed to hit a target at coordinates (x,y). The program (written in Fortran-90) uses Newton's method to solve iteratively for the launch angle.- Text version
- PDF version
- Windows executable file (run from the command prompt)
TI-83+ Applications
RPN III - Reverse Polish Notation
This application converts the TI-83+ to Reverse Polish Notation (RPN). With a little practice, you'll find that this is much easier and much less error-prone than the TI-83's built-in algebraic notation. (Download courtesy of ticalc.org.) Most Hewlett-Packard calculators use RPN, as do the Forth, PostScript, and Mouse computer programming languages.For Microsoft Windows, there is an RPN calculator called Excalibur available for download here.
There is also an RPN calculator program available for cell phones and PDAs called MathU, available from Creative Creek Software.
Miscellaneous
- Gorilla 2 game (illustrates projectile motion)
