I've been busy over the last couple months and so I haven't posted very much in that time, but a couple of new things have happened. 1) The visualization site has a new look: http://members.wri.com/jeffb/visualization/ 2) A new example. A couple years ago, Ed Pegg wrote an article about modelling pandemic outbreaks using Mathematica. He used a CA based algorithm heavily influenced by population density and airport travel. I created an animated version of one of these outbreaks that assumes the outbreak starts near Dallas and spreads from there. http://members.wri.com/jeffb/visualization/pandemic.shtml Ed has a much more detailed decription of the model and where it can be improved here: http://www.maa.org/editorial/mathgames/mathgames_12_22_03.html *Note* As always, I am always looking to add more examples of the use of graphics and visualization to my site. Feel free to send them my way and I'll give you credit. If you are interested, I can even provide some tips on things you can do to make your graphics look a bit prettier before posting them. -Jeff
