Calculus Area under a Curve , also available in Java only This Applet plots several predefined functions. You can choose whether to use rectangles or trapezoids to approximate the area under the curve, as well as the number of intervals used for the approximation. TangentFinder TM , also available in Java only TangentFinder plots a predefined function. The user can drag the glider to display a tangent line at any location. This Applet steps you through Newton's Method applied to finding the n th roots of an integer.
Output is displayed simultaneously via techexplorer.
Simple Ordinary Differential Equations , also available in Java only This Applet plots a vector field and specific solutions for first-order differential equations. Sliders let you see how sigma and mu affect the shape of the curve. This Applet is a simplistic version of the base for most of our math applets. It allows a student to enter a math expression into an equation, and to graph that equation. This Applet models a Spring-Mass System in which the spring constant , mass , and offset distance can be modified.
