Mathematica Web Server Home Page

The MathServ Project

Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN

Due to hardware failure, MathServ is unavailable until further notice.

Overview

The goal of this page is to provide software tools and information to facilitate the creation of instructional materials that can be accessed through the World Wide Web and that require the interactive use of mathematical concepts. This is accomplished by providing a simple language that can be used in HTML forms to access a server that is running Mathematica 4.1. The MathServ Project is a joint venture of the Department of Mathematics and the Owen Graduate School of Management.

Examples

Development Team

Steve Tschantz designed and implemented the LockUp.m Mathematica package, which makes possible the secure execution of arbitrary input strings, and the ParseMath.m Mathematica package, that allows more flexible mathematical input expressions. He also provides system administration support for this site.
Philip Crooke has administrative responsibilities for the project and leads a group that is developing education applications of this technology.
Luke Froeb established the alliance between the Mathematics Department and the Owen Graduate School of Management to develop MathServ and has contributed examples for its use in merger simulations.
