GitHub - EddieTGH/Optical-Ray-Simulator: Optical Simulator 8999: Created by Edmond Niu, Andrew Somers, David Chang, Alex Postovskiy. "Our program is known as the “Optical Simulator 8999”, an educational tool that can be used to model optical rays that are either reflected, transmitted, or absorbed throughout a number of curves. We have a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for the user to create mathematical models for the curves and well as vectors for the rays. We provide an instructions/help page if they have any questions while utilizing the program and sample simulations that the users can follow to familiarize themselves with our software. We use Javascript and external libraries such as MathQuill and EvaluateX to create the editable MQ fields and verification functionality, respectively. We use html and css to create buttons, the canvas, and a user-friendly graphical interface. We use materialize to make the buttons look nice. We use a html canvas to show the graphs. Internally the program uses the quite lackluster nerdamer library to symbolically differentiate and create JS functions from the inputted parametric equations. Various vector algorithms are then applied to calculate the optical parameters and render a linear approximation of the curve in a reasonable amount of time."
