Mathematics#

Dynamical Systems and Chaos#

Textbooks:

  • A First Course in Chaotic Dynamical Systems: Theory and Experiment by Robert L. Devaney

Software:

  • Fractal Generator

    • Description: The Fractal Generator is designed to display images produced from complex and real parametric dynamical systems. Its main purpose is to allow the user to experiment with their own formulas in the dynamical system.

Abstract Algebra#

Textbooks:

  • Contemporary Abstract Algebra by Joseph A. Gallian

Software

  • PascGalois JE

    • Description: PascGalois JE is a platform independent program developed for the exploration of one and two dimensional cellular automata over finite group structures. The supported group structures are \(Z_n\), \(Z_n\) (under multiplication), \(D_n\), \(S_n\), the Quaternions, \(Q_n\) (Generalized Quaternions) and \(C_n\) (Dicyclic groups).

  • PascGalois Zn

    • Description: PascGalois Zn is a platform independent program developed for the exploration of one and two dimensional cellular automata over \(Z_n\). This program allows you to use update rules that employ both addition and multiplication.

Cryptography#

Textbooks:

  • Introduction to Cryptography with Coding Theory by Wade Trappe and Lawrence C. Washington

  • The Code Book: HOW TO MAKE IT, BREAK IT, HACK IT, CRACK IT by Simon Singh

Software:

  • Cryptography Explorer

    • Description: The Cryptography Explorer program was developed for the investigation of cryptography and cryptanalysis. It was developed as a teaching tool to try to remove the tedious calculations but still require the user to make the decisions for the processes and analysis.

    • Download: mathprofdes/Cryptography-Explorer

  • Text Converter

    • Description: The Text Converter is a simple text and numeric manipulation application that allows the user to do some specialized conversions that may not be available in a standard text editor or programming IDE. If you do not use the Cryptography Explorer program and choose to use another computational package, this program may be useful in converting data to and from forms that standard software packages can manipulate.

Software:

  • Text Converter

    • Description: The Text Converter is a simple text and numeric manipulation application that allows the user to do some specialized conversions that may not be available in a standard text editor or programming IDE. One nice use of this for Computer Graphics is that it has some facilities for converting GLSL shader program code into string literals for incorporating the shaders into the source code.
