   Johns Hopkins University -  Mathwright Tutorial Project

Though many of the projects in which I took part during my three years in Baltimore involved neuroimage analysis in one form or another; the long-term project that I had been involved with throughout those three years was to develop a series of tutorials using the Mathwright software package, that could then be used to introduce future undergraduate students to the mathematical concepts that underlie the image analysis conducted at the CIS.

The tutorials that I developed are available for public access below (as well as via the CIS project homepage):

Introduction to Dynamic Programming ZIP File
Introduction to Turbulent Flows in a Plane Channel ZIP File
Introduction to Curvature and the Shape Operator  ZIP File
Introduction to the Numerical Solution of the 1D Linear Advection Equation ZIP File

These files are available in the form of self-extracting ZIP files that may be downloaded to your hard drive.

Note: Your screen resolution should be set to 800 x 600 for an optimal experience.
 
In order to access these tutorials, you need one or both of the following software packages:

Mathwright32 Reader (OFFLINE Reader)

Despite Dr. White's uncanny anticipation of future developments of Microsoft's .NET, his untimely death means that it is no longer possible to read Mathwright books online.

To use the offline reader, Mathwright32 Reader:

1. Download the Mathwright32 Reader by left-clicking on the picture, or link, above, and saving the file to your hard drive.
2. Find the location where the file was saved, and double click on its icon to open the file (this will begin the installation process).
3. After the program has been installed, you may read any of the above-included workbooks simply by saving any of the self-extracting .exe files to your hard drive, and then unzipping them to a directory of your choice.


This requires Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which is installed with Windows. Versions of Windows prior to Spring 2003 have JVM, but Windows XP does not automatically install it any more. This is because Microsoft does not have permission from Sun Microsystems to upgrade its JVM after 2007.

 

Most likely, you have the Microsoft JVM on your machine, and you will have no problem reading our Microworlds in your browser or in your private collection of offline Microworlds. If you do not have the Microsoft JVM, however, you will see a tiny rectangle instead of the Microworld Portal online, or you will get a "Class not present" error offline. In that case, the simplest solution will be to download the Microsoft JVM and install it. Mathwright has Microsoft's permission to distribute it to you, and you may download a free copy for Windows 95/98/Me or XP here.

 

Not sure what a JVM is? Read about the latest news on this technology at the Library here which provides the latest versions of the Active X controls. For further information about the philosophy of Mathwright, click here.
