Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a software package, which takes advantage of the capability to represent and animate 3D and multimedia objects of the Virtual Reality Modeling Language and the symbolic capability of a Computer Algebra System such as Maple, in order to represent mathematical graphical objects on the Web.
