Vector Fields1.0

Vector Fields is a lightweight and portable piece of software designed to help you study and define vector fields by indicating the corresponding difference equations. It includes explanations and offers support for several functions useful for advanced math students.

No installation necessary

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can save the program files to a custom location on the disk and just click the executable to launch Vector Fields. Another possibility is to save it to a USB flash drive or other removable storage unit, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers.Worth mentioning is that, unlike most installers, this app does not modify Windows registry settings or create extra files on the disk, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal.

Simple-looking interface with straightforward commands

The GUI is represented by a single window with a plain and simple structure, where you can find out the program's goal explained on the bottom part of the screen, along with the functions you can use. These include absolute values, exponential functions, fractional parts, natural logarithms, rounded integers, square roots, and the number pi.A graphical representation takes up the most part of the window. All you have to do is select the type of predefined fields between shear movement, expansion, circular left or right, squeeze stretch, flow around and vortex cells, define the two functions, and generate the field immediately with one click. It is possible to zoom in and out of the graph as well as to stop the animation.

Evaluation and conclusion

There were no kind of stability issues throughout our testing, since the application did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It has a good response time to commands and runs on low CPU and RAM, so it does not hamper system resources. In conclusion, Vector Fields proves to be a reliable piece of software for working with vector fields.
