Java Applets

• Graphing utilities and demonstrations:
  • Simple Graph Applet: Displays graphs of functions and allows for easy zooming in and out.
  • MultiGraph Applet: Demonstrates the effects of adding and multiplyting constants to shift and stretch graphs of functions.
  • Morphing Applet: Demonstrates morphing one function into another by adjusting one constant.
  • Function Composition Applet: Demonstrates compositions graphically.
• Secant Tangent Applet: Demonstrates the idea of approximating the slope of a tangent line using slopes of secant lines.
• Epsilon-Delta Applet: Explores the definition of limits.
• Newton's Method Applet: Demonstrates how Newton's Method works.
• Riemann Sums
  • Riemann Sums Applet: Approximate areas under curves using rectangles and trapezoids.
  • This applet from Japan illustrates Riemann sums for a particular volume.
  • Simpson's Rule applet
• Sequences of Functions applet. This is useful for graphing power series.
• Parametric and Polar Equations
  • Parametric Curve Applet
  • Cycloids and spirals at Maths online
  • Cycloid Applet
  • another Cycloid page
  • SpiroGraph simulation that gives parametric equations involved.
