| Visualization is a process by which complex scientific
data can be expressed in images that are easier to understand. These
pages contain information, programs, and images from an exhibit on visualization
of concepts from high school physics presented to the UCLA Dept.
of Physics and Astronomy, plasma physics group in August 1997. The
scientific data is generated on a UNIX workstation by a Fortran 90 program
then exported to an Apple Macintosh. We used the programs from Fortner
Software to produce the visual images. For each image below,
we first explain the concept in words, then with an equation, and finally
with a visualization. The Fortran 90 program which produced each
image is also included.
