In summary, Interest in 3D Lissajous Figures led to a Google search, which led to a free program called Mathematica Player from Wolfram Research. This program is an innovative viewer application that not only reads documents, but also has the full Mathematica engine embedded to make documents interactive. The Wolfram Demonstrations Project offers thousands of free interactive documents using this technology. The specific application for graphing damped 3D Lissajous Figures can be found at the Wolfram Demonstrations Project website, along with a list of other demonstrations. This is not similar to MapleNet, as MapleNet is used for publishing websites using Java and math packages, while the Wolfram Demonstrations Project offers over 5000 interactive demonstrations

Interest in 3D Lissajous Figures lead to a Google search which lead to a free program which ran on the free program, Mathematica Player, from Wolfram research,

http://www.wolfram.com/products/player/

From that page,

" Mathematica Player is an innovative new take on viewer applications.

Rather than just a reader, like Acrobat Reader, or a thin runtime, like Flash Player, Mathematica Player has the full Mathematica engine embedded right there--ready to make documents come alive or to power applets. (Of course, don't forget it can read notebooks too!)

Because Player-interactive documents are so easy to make using Mathematica technology, thousands of these are already freely available at the Wolfram Demonstrations Project--with more supplied each day by researchers, educators, students, and professionals. ".


The free application which graphs damped 3D Lissajous Figures is at:

Enjoy!

Sort of like MapleNet?

Not really, MapleNet is analogous to webMathematica, it is a way to publish websites using Java together with these math packages. The 12 demos on the page you do not compare to the over 5000 demonstrations on the Wolfram site.
 

Related to Damped 3D Lissajous Figures, free Wolfram products.

What are Damped 3D Lissajous Figures?

Damped 3D Lissajous Figures are three-dimensional curves that are created by combining multiple harmonic oscillations with different frequencies and phases. They are often used in physics and engineering to model the motion of a damped oscillator.

How are Damped 3D Lissajous Figures different from regular Lissajous Figures?

Damped 3D Lissajous Figures are similar to regular Lissajous Figures in that they are both created by combining simple harmonic motions. However, Damped 3D Lissajous Figures also incorporate a damping factor, which causes the amplitude of the oscillations to decrease over time.

What are some real-world applications of Damped 3D Lissajous Figures?

Damped 3D Lissajous Figures have many practical applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and mathematics. They can be used to model the motion of pendulums, springs, and other oscillating systems. They are also used in signal processing to analyze and filter data.

What are some free Wolfram products that can be used to create Damped 3D Lissajous Figures?

Wolfram offers several free products that can be used to create Damped 3D Lissajous Figures, including Wolfram|Alpha, Wolfram Demonstrations Project, and Wolfram Open Code. These products use Wolfram Language, a high-level programming language, to easily generate and manipulate complex mathematical figures.

How can Damped 3D Lissajous Figures be used to teach mathematical concepts?

Damped 3D Lissajous Figures can be a powerful tool for teaching mathematical concepts such as oscillations, damping, and phase differences. By visually representing these concepts, students can better understand and apply them in various problem-solving scenarios.
