Ultimate Bownie Pan

Modeling heat and space to make brownies!

The purpose

This project was created as my MATH 227 (Mathematical Modeling) final, along with four other group members. As my portion of the project, I wrote this piece of software that would model the "effectiveness" of a brownie pan in terms of its wasted space in the oven, and how effectively heat is evenly distributed amoung the pan.

What's so cool about this?

This project can do several calculations on generic functions. While there are restrictions about what functions can and cannot be used (mentioned in the readme), there are a very large and comprehensize list of those that can. Most impressive, however, is the heat modeling portion. While most heat modeling systems use a set of partial differential equations, which take lots of time an resources, I was able to adequately model the heat eminating from the pan using simple calculus. While not lightning fast, this alogirthm works fairly quickly, and produces good results
