Modeling the Mirascope Using Dynamic Technology

This article analyzes the physical and mathematical properties of the mirascope and models the mirascope using dynamic learning technology

Java Food Web

This Biological ESTEEM module in the Ecology Category consists of a Java applet along with more than 100 food web matrices in the form of Excel worksheets. After manipulating these transformed matrices, the patterns are visualized.

Riemann Sums

This Java applet allows the user to experiment with Riemann sums. It can also be used to approximate definite integrals or find upper and lower bounds to the exact value of a definite integral, using Riemann sums.

Constructing Mathlets using JavaMath

The use of JavaMath is explained via an example and ideas for new types of web service are discussed.

Flash Illustrations for Modeling

This collection of mathlets comprise a companion for modeling assignments (primarily for calculus) designed to give students hands-on experience describing motion as a combination of basic functions.

Quadratic Functions

This applet supplements the authors' "Gutter Problem" material, but can be used to generally study properties and forms of quadratic functions, both analytically and graphically.
