Mac Cellular Automata.sit EducateDL AMUG CD:Files:Education:M:Mac Cellular Automata.sit 0 29K 4/18/94 Mac Cellular Automata - What is cellular automata and why do we need it? Wentian Li says that cellular automata are simple models to simulate complex behaviors of many degrees of freedom dynamical systems. Let me preface my next statement by saying that although we use the word simple, I am only scratching the surface of the field of cellular automata study. In laymen terms, it means the use of simple mathematical rules to simulate things that might occur at the cellular level. For the purpose of keeping the program simple, I am only going to look at one-dimensional cellular automata. There are of course, two and three-dimensional cellular automata but I won’t get into it.

Consider the scales that are used-shutter speeds are based on the number 2, doubling or halving the numbers involved; while ƒ-stops are based on the square root of 2. The third component in exposure, ISO, is again based on 2, but this time divided in segments of thirds. Providing information on handling the camera controls for exposure clearly and succinctly is necessary to reduce the students’ confusion. Computer generated graphics offer such an opportunity through simulation, animation, and interactive presentation in the classroom. For just that, check out these two HyperCard stacks.

Click on a square, and then click on a square one away from it diagonally, horizontally or vertically. If the square "hopped" over is a factor of the first square, then the number is factored out of the first square and the remaining value is multplied with the destination square. That's all there is to it! Try to turn all the squares into "1" squares, to get the smallest possible sum for the sum of all the numbers on the board. 2.2 Note - You now can't hop with factors of 1 or anything red (color version) or gray (B&W version), but if you start a new turn all your redded-out "non-1" factors are made hoppable again. Number fanatics try it!

The student has to swat the bug below the correct answer before one of the bugs disappears under its picture frame. If the wrong bug is swatted, the other three keep crawling, and give the student an extra chance. In the other variation, the student pops the bubble under the correct answer instead of swatting a bug. This is a HyperCard game.

When most individuals think of an "argument", they expect several participants communicating with each other. In the case of Euclid, however, an argument is any type of reasoned discourse. It may be a single person presenting a case, it could be several people collaborating to create a single case, or it could be a group of people arguing against each other. Euclid supports arguments created over long distances and stretches of time. Any research article or editorial can make great use of this program for formulating sound, logical arguments and clarifying them.
DriverParameters.sit EducateDL AMUG CD:Files:Education:D:DriverParameters.sit 0 36K 4/09/93 DriverParameters - When designing stereo speakers you need to know the drivers, Qts, Qes, and Vas among other things.

I believe that the best way to learn is to experiment and be involved in the act of experimentation, and the best way to learn about this program is to try it. It has some brief descriptions about controls under its Help! menu, but full documentation is provided in the Microsoft Word file.

Circuits with feedback loops are alowed, so that you can construct memory elements such as flip-flops. You can save the circuits as files. These files can later be used as subcircuits in circuits created with the program. A number of sample files are included on this disk. Because of the way the program is written, circuits created on a large screen cannot be displayed on a smaller screen. I have included sample files for both large and small screens.
XFunctions 2.2.sit EducateDL AMUG CD:Files:Education:T-Z:XFunctions 2.2.sit 2.2 1 118K 10/27/92 XFunctions 2.2 - XFunctions is a general-purpose program for playing with mathematical functions. It is not meant for use in scientific analysis or for making presentation-type graphs and charts. It was written primarily to help students learn mathematics. A major goal in writing the program was to make it as easy as possible to use, so that students can concentrate on learning about mathematics, rather than learning about computers. It is also fun just to play with (at least if you are mathematically inclined).

VIRUSES are simple life forms consisting of nucleic acid, encoding genetic information, and surface components of protein that enable them to enter cells. Unable to multiply outside of living host cells, they are completely dependent on these cells for their continued maintenance. Viruses utilize the metabolic machinery of the cell and have the ability to interfere with, or direct in an adverse fashion, the activities of the cell.
