Assorted Applets
The Web page contains a plethora of interesting resources to help you visualize important mathematical concepts. Most of these are Java applets, which run interactively as plug-ins in your web browser. To use them you must have Java enabled in your browser preferences - by default, it probably is already.
- Some Java applets from MIT's OpenCourseWare page for 18.013A:
- Function and Derivative Animations, by Przemyslaw Bogacki and Gordon Melrose (.avi files, can play e.g. with Windows Media® Player)
- Java applets of secant lines and tangent lines:
- Secant lines for a function with two non-differentiable points (applet by Daniel J. Heath)
- Animations of secant lines approaching (or not approaching) tangent lines (by Douglas N. Arnold):
- At a point of differentiability
- At a point of non-differentiability (the one-sided derivatives don't match)
- At another point of non-differentiability (vertical tangent; the derivative is infinite)
- Constructing functions that are continuous but nowhere differentiable (!), applet from Maths Online
- Chain rule applet
- First and second derivatives applet (by Scott Sarra)
- More first and second derivatives, with parameters you can tweak (applet from Maths Online)
- Derivatives of ax, sin x, cos x (applets by Daniel J. Heath)
- Zooming in on a tangent line (animation by Douglas N. Arnold)
- Linear approximation of sin x at 0 (applet from UBC Calculus Online)
- Finding a function's extremum, applet from Maths Online
- Rolle's theorem and the mean value theorem (applet from IES, Manipula Math)
- Some nice integral applets (by Daniel J. Heath):
- Numerical Integration Simulation (by Joseph L. Zachary)
- Direction field applet (by Scott Sarra)
- More direction field applets (from UBC Calculus Online)
- Parametric equation applet (by Scott Sarra)
- Cycloid animation (AVI) (by Przemyslaw Bogacki and Gordon Melrose)
- Cycloid applet (from Maths Online)
- Computing arc length (AVI) (animation by Przemyslaw Bogacki and Gordon Melrose)
- Approximating arc length (applet by Daniel J. Heath)
- Polar curve applet (from IES, Manipula Math)
- Several polar curve animations (by Przemyslaw Bogacki and Gordon Melrose):
- Converging and diverging series animations (by Przemyslaw Bogacki and Gordon Melrose):
- Numerical tools for computing sequences / series (from Maths Online)
- Taylor approximations (applet by Daniel J. Heath)
- Power series grapher
