Abstract
The design and initial implementation of a system for constructing a haptic model of a mathematical function for exploration using a PHANToM are described. A user types the mathematical function as a Fortran arithmetic expression and the system described here carves the trace of the function onto a virtual block of balsa wood. Preliminary work in generating music which describes the function has begun.
