| extract | What is VisualPDE, where did it come from and who is behind it? |
You can explore the examples, create simulations and share them with a URL, or even copy the code on GitHub to design your own version of VisualPDE. Check out our detailed documentation to dive under the hood.
If you use VisualPDE in your research, we'd be grateful if you could cite our article about the context, design, and applications of VisualPDE in the Bulletin of Mathematical Biology.
Everyone is free to use VisualPDE. For specifics of industrial use, see our licence.
VisualPDE is used around the world to teach, engage and interact with mathematics and science. Here are some examples of VisualPDE in action:
- 20+ citing articles on Semantic Scholar
- An interactive logo for the Society for Mathematical Biology
- A simulation-rich blog post by Vatsal Sanjay summarising VisualPDE
- A Plus magazine article and podcast on using VisualPDE to explore research in virus transmission
- A Teaching and Learning Mathematics Online webinar exploring VisualPDE
VisualPDE is a team effort, written and maintained by Benjamin Walker, Adam Townsend and Andrew Krause. We are grateful for the contributions of Alex Chudasama and Xietao Wang Lin.
