Advanced teaching benefits with control hardware and modeling software Products supplied and supported by Adept Scientific are providing real teaching and research benefits at Bristol University. Use of a Quanser design control system is challenging students to look beyond the immediate project confines to find new solutions, whilst MapleSim modeling software is aiding postgraduate students in the development of robotic systems.

Classroom Tips and Techniques: Geodesics on a Surface Several months ago we provided the article Tensor Calculus with the Differential Geometry Package in which we found geodesics in the plane when the plane was referred to polar coordinates. In this month's article we find geodesics on a surface embedded in R3. We illustrate three approaches: numeric approximation, the calculus of variations, and differential geometry.
