This site explores the use of webMathematica in chemical engineering.


The examples listed below were developed by Professor Brian G. Higgins (bghiggins@ucdavis). There is also a companion site that shows how webMathematica can be used to develop interactive tools for use in K-12 math topics: K-12 Examples. For additional examples of how Mathematica can be used in chemical engineering please visit Chemical Engineering and Mathematica.
The following link has some tutorials on how webMathematica can be programmed to do certain tasks.
