Qiming Wang, Information Access Division, participated in "Web3D 2005 Symposium" held in Bangor, Wales, UK, and presented a paper "Web-Based 3D Visualization in a Digital Library of Mathematical Functions", which was co-authored with Bonita Saunders, Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division. Qiming briefly introduced the NIST DLMF project, background, and structure of the DLMF website, and described the technology. She presented the "MathViewer", developed using VRML to visualize 3D mathematical functions interactively in the Web, and examples of 3D figures generated using MathViewer. The reaction for the presentation was very positive. The participants were impressed by the ongoing work on 3D visualization of mathematical functions.
