Abstract or Additional Information
Abstract: FACT: Desmos is not just good for showing Calc 1 students what the graph of natural log looks like. I personally have used Desmos to make visualizations of concepts from real and complex analysis, PDEs, dynamical systems, topology, and more! In this talk I will show you a wide array of features you've never heard of that Desmos has in its 2D and 3D graphing calculator, and how you can use these features to make both figures for practical and creative use. Also, there will be PIZZA!!
Here are some examples of graphs I've made using the techniques I will showcase:
Coulomb's law: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/7ebc67f67e
Brownian motion: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/493aa92dbc
