In this article we introduce a numerical algorithm for finding harmonic
mappings by using the shear construction introduced by Clunie and Sheil-Small
in 1984. The MATLAB implementation of the algorithm is based on the numerical
conformal mapping package, the Schwarz-Christoffel toolbox, by T. Driscoll.
Several numerical examples are given. In addition, we discuss briefly the
minimal surfaces associated with harmonic mappings and give a numerical example
of minimal surfaces.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figure
