Abstract

The CindyJS Project brings interactive mathematical visualization to a broad variety of devices. Using projective geometry, homotopy methods and well tuned algorithms the CindyJS project is one of the first real time capable software projects in this field that at the same time approaches high-level mathematical descriptions and performance.

M. von Gagern, J. Richter-Gebert and M. Strobel were supported by the DFG Collaborative Research Center TRR 109, “Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics”. M. von Gagern and U. Kortenkamp were supported by the project “M C Squared” which has received funding from the EU 7th Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement no. 610467.
