Chapter 13D Math Functions

Horvath, Joan; Cameron, Rich

Pages: 1 –15

[Since so much scientific visualization starts with looking at underlying mathematics, we are beginning this book on 3D printing for science projects with a chapter on 3D printing mathematical functions. The basic code in this chapter is intended to be a starter set that you alter to 3D print...

Chapter 2Light and Other Waves

Horvath, Joan; Cameron, Rich

Pages: 17 –33

[When someone says “waves,” the first thing that may come to mind is the kind of waves that crash onto a beach. Water waves (and waves in air) are actually pretty complicated, because the waves are moving over complex terrrain, experiencing friction and effects of the water’s viscosity and a lot...

Chapter 3Gravity

Horvath, Joan; Cameron, Rich

Pages: 35 –50

[No one questions the existence of gravity in everyday life. When we put something on a table (astronauts excepted), typically we expect it to stay there. Gravity is mathematically a little subtle, though, and in this chapter we look at the gravity field around the Earth and Moon, as well as that...

Chapter 4Airfoils

Horvath, Joan; Cameron, Rich

Pages: 51 –76

[Orville and Wilbur Wright’s pragmatic, low-budget approach will be very familiar to today’s makers. David McCollough’s The Wright Brothers (Simon and Schuster, 2015) explores their approach, which could give you some ideas on the type of experiments you might want to do. Or you might just find...

Chapter 5Simple Machines

Horvath, Joan; Cameron, Rich

Pages: 77 –106

[Simple machines are devices that change the amount, or magnitude, of force or the direction of a force being exerted on something. The standard list of simple machines (at least as far as school science standards define them) are the pulley, screw, wheel and axle, inclined plane, wedge, and...

Chapter 6Plants and Their Ecosystems

Horvath, Joan; Cameron, Rich

Pages: 107 –131

[When we think about plants, dynamic is not usually a word that comes to mind. Plants are part of the landscape. Unless you are a gardener, you might never give the trees and smaller plants around you a second thought. The fact that plants are, well, planted in place has some evolutionary...

Chapter 7Molecules

Horvath, Joan; Cameron, Rich

Pages: 133 –155

[A lot of the art of chemistry involves being able to visualize abstract descriptions of activities that are occurring on the atomic or molecular level. Often these abstractions can be described mathematically with very complex equations that most people will not see until later years in college,...

Chapter 8Trusses

Horvath, Joan; Cameron, Rich

Pages: 157 –177

[This, our final chapter in this book, explores simple structures that make up a lot of the infrastructure around us. A truss is a structural element that uses the strength of a triangular structure to carry loads with relatively little structural material. Trusses are used just about everywhere...
