| - | - Maple is used to add orthogonal Legendre functions | + | - This computer visualization activity is designed to help upper division undergraduate students visualize the expansion of a function via Legendre polynomials. |
| - | - Students can plot the sum of several functions | + | - Students use a Maple Worksheet or a Mathematica Notebook to add orthogonal Legendre functions and plot the resulting sum, allowing them to use the guess and check method to find the Legendre expansion of a function. |
| - | - Students use guess and check method to find the Legendre expansion of a function | + | - The entire class wrap-up discussion focuses on the importance of Legendre series and their relevance to the derivation of the Hydrogen atom. |
