In ProjectMOSAIC/mosaicCalc: R-Language Based Calculus Operations for Teaching

mosaicCalc 0.6.1

• No new user features. Just maintenance on internal package tests to keep up with changes to other packages.

mosaicCalc 0.6.0

• Updated vignette and added two new vignettes: an instructor-facing guide and a quick reference.
• Unified argument handling system across most functions, handling optional graphics input from piped-in graphical functions, bounds(), parameter values, etc.

mosaicCalc 0.5.9

• slice_plot(), contour_plot(), vectorfield_plot(), and gradient_plot() have improved checking for unbound parameters.
• Added ability to bind or re-bind parameters in those graphics functions calls.
• Exported bind_params(), perhaps useful for demonstrations of difference between arguments and parameters in mathematical functions.

mosaicCalc 0.5.8

• Using Deriv::Deriv() for symbolic differentiation. It's much better than stats:D
• Attempting symbolic integration with Ryacas. If that fails, then go on to old method. symbolic anti-derivatives are much better with Ryacas than the old home-brew method.

mosaicCalc 0.5.7

• traj_plot_3D() added
• integrateODE() has improved error messages.

mosaicCalc 0.5.6

• vectorfield_plot() gets transform feature to (optionally) avoid too-small arrows.
• vectorfield_plot() arrows now centered on the gridpoint.

mosaicCalc 0.5.5

• added more domain features: is_in_domain() and %pm% which works inside domain().
• added Zeros(), which works better with the domain system.
• added Integrate(), argM()
• added Picket()

mosaicCalc 0.5.4

• added Iterate()

mosaicCalc 0.5.3

• fixed label colors and alpha in slice_plot()
• contour_plot() now uses boxed labels instead of plain text for contour marking
• slice_plot() adds a "singularities" argument to insert breaks in the graph.
• more flexible domain specification for slice_plot and contour_plot
• can use expressions instead of formulas for makeFun()
• bug fixes in antiD()
• somewhat better algebraic simplification for D() and antiD()

mosaicCalc 0.5.2

• added surface_with_contours().
• added vectorfield_plot() and gradient_plot()

mosaicCalc 0.5.1

• Added cross-references to calculus functions in mosaic
• Internal functions no longer show up in package documentation.
• Added a vignette oriented toward instructors.
• Fixed reversal of axes in interactive_plot()

mosaicCalc 0.5.0

• Calculus materials separated from the mosaic package and housed here.
• Reconfigured mosaicCalc as a separate package that works with the mosaicCore ecosystem.
