An applet demonstration [Furman]
An online tutorial (includes Bisection Method as well) [U Utah]
In the complex plane (fractals) [U Chicago]
Newton-Raphson method [Ga Tech]

Functions:

A simple graphing utility
An applet plotting a particle's position, velocity or acceleration along a line.

Limits:

An applet illustration of the definition of limit
Some examples showing why numerical evaluation of limits can be untrustworthy.
Drill on finding horizontal and vertical asymptotes. Solutions provided.

Derivatives:

Movement of secant line toward tangent line: applet 1 | applet 2
Relationship between a function and its derivative applet 1 | applet 2 | applet 3
Differentiability implies continuity, but the converse is not true.
