Description
|
|
|
•
|
The GradientTutor command launches a tutor interface that computes, plots, and animates the gradient(s) of a function.
|
|
|
The values of f(a,b), f(c,d),.. and grad(f) at [a,b],[c,d],.. are calculated and displayed in the tutor interface.
|
|
|
If f(x,y) and [x,y]=[[a,b],[c,d],..] are not specified, GradientTutor uses defaults.
|
|
•
|
When the GradientTutor is running, interaction with the worksheet is not possible.
