Plug-ins

Several plug-ins are needed to view some of the materials on this site.

There are a large number of MathView notebooks on this site. These notebooks were originally constructed using the MathView program from Maple. Maple sold this program to another company which has renamed the program LiveMath. The LiveMath plug-in is available from the LiveMath site. Even if you have the MathView plug-in, we recommend that you upgrade to the LiveMath plug-in. Eventually, we plan to upgrade each of the MathView notebooks to LiveMath format.
The Shockwave Flash plug-in is available for free from the Macromedia site. It is available for Macintosh and Windows platforms. The plug-in is now packaged with many browsers.
The IBM TechExplorer plug-in (also known as the IBM TechExplorer Hypermedia Browser) is available from the IBM site. There are two versions: (1) the Introductory Version which is free and (2) the Professional Version which is not free and can be purchased from the IBM site mentioned above. We are in the process of modifying our pages so that either version can be used. For a short time, Maple sold Maple Explorer which contained the professional version of the IBM TechExplorer plug-in. The IBM TechExplorer plug-in is available for Windows, Linux, AIX, Solaris, and SGI platforms.
You can obtain the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in from either Adobe Systems or UTK Sunsite (if you are on a UTK host).
