The Contents of the SAMPLES Folder

This file, README.RTF, describes the contents of the SAMPLES folder.

MathConnex sample files

TARGET.MXP Moving Target Game

TRAJECT.MXP Projectile Trajectory

VDPOL.MXP Van der Pol’s Equation

FFT.MXP Fast Fourier Transform Example

PARAMCUR.MXP Drawing 3D Parametric Curves

Files referenced in the MathConnex Getting Started Guide

CURVEFIT.MXP The Curve Fitting MathConnex Project

CRVDATA.XLS Excel data for the Curve Fitting project

CRVFIT.MCD Mathcad worksheet for the Curve Fitting project

Mathcad and MathConnex files containing components

that require third-party applications to be present

Mathcad files containing components that enable Mathcad to work with other applications are also located in the SAMPLES folder. “Static” versions of some of these files (with screenshot bitmaps representing the components) appear in the Components in Mathcad section of QuickSheets (part of the Mathcad Resource Center). The corresponding files in the SAMPLES folder provide full-featured versions of these files. Remember that the application that a component interfaces with must be installed on your system in order to successfully run the files containing the component.
