Welcome to the 3D Gallery!

We have set aside some rooms in the Library that are new, both in spirit, and in form and function, in order to catch a glimpse, if we can, of some interesting prospects for Educational Technology. Virtual Reality and 3D Graphics will certainly be an important part of its future.
In these rooms, we showcase 3D Microworlds that you may read either in your browser with MathwrightWeb, or off line with Mathwright32 Reader.

Being a new addition to the Library, and separate from the Stacks, our Gallery is a single Room of 3D WorkBooks organized only around the theme that they develop mathematical ideas with 3D Graphics. For example, the 3D Tic-Tac-Toe game is a visual illustration of a 1-step Minimax strategy...and is great fun to play. The Game of Life is a cellular automaton, and so on.
Whatever rationalization you prefer, just go ahead and play with them. That's what they are here for! The titles are:

• Space Curves
• 3D (Spherical) Logo
• TacTic (or 3D Tic-Tac-Toe)
• Life in 3 Dimensions (Conway's Game)
• 3D Graphics
• Surfaces of Revolution
• Color Portraits of Complex Mappings
• Odds and Integrals
• Special Relativity and Conic Sections
