This article explores how mathematical techniques, digital images, and dynamic geometry software can be used to analyze a real-world situation originating from poultry science. The topic is mathematical modeling of the shape of an egg, where the underlying question is: What is the volume and surface area of a hen's egg?"

This utility uses the free Flash player plug-in resident in most browsers to allow the user to plot 3D curves and surfaces on a customized scale and dynamically rotate the picture.

A Biological ESTEEM module in the BioChemistry Category. This workbook calculates the necessary components to create a buffer solution.
One of a series of reports on the status of tools for rendering mathematical symbols and formulas in web pages.
This suite of five interactive applets (written with GeoGebra) allows exploration of definitions and theorems commonly presented in first-year analysis courses. Topics include sequence convergence, continuity at a point, the Mean Value theorem, Taylor series, and Riemann sums. Included with each applet is a pair of activities: one for becoming comfortable using the applet, and one for using the applet to explore the associated topic in depth.
This small Web application creates high quality images of 3D surfaces defined by mathematical expressions. Images can be colored, resized and freely rotated in space.
This article examines the dynamic geometry package GeoGebra from the point of view of Euclidean Constructions.
