Math 421: Install packages

If you are using Mathematica on your own computer, then you will want to install David Park’s two sets of application add-on packages:

  • the DrawGraphics add-on; and
  • the Cardano3 add-on.

Here’s what to do:

  1. Get both add-ons from me, in the form of zip files.
     
  2. Unzip each to the AddOns\Applications subdirectory of the main Mathematica directory.  For example, if you installed Mathematica to

    d:\Progs\Wolfram\Mathematica5.2

    then unzip them to

    d:\Progs\Wolfram\Mathematica5.2\AddOns\Applications

    When you unzip, preserve the directory structure present in the zip archives .
     
  3. Open Mathematica and from the Help menu select Rebuild Help Index.
     
  4. Test the installation—in three new input cells, type and then evaluate the following (be sure you use a backquote ` rather than an apostrophe):

    Needs["Cardano3`ComplexRoutines`"]
    Needs["Cardano3`ComplexGraphics`"]

    ? Cardano3`ComplexRoutines`*
    ? Cardano3`ComplexGraphics`*


    ? DrawGraphics`*

    If the installation has been done correctly, you should get as output from the second and third input cells lists of hyperlinked function names from these packages.
