APPLETS AND PROJECTS FOR CALCULUS III

Page Contents

  • APPLETS: The applets in the fast-downloading jar file format
  • APPLETS:The applets in the unarchived format required by Navigator 3
  • EXPERIMENTS AND PROJECTS:A collection of projects and experiments to be done with these applets

    • The applets in jar files
    Use these links if you are using Netscape Navigator 4, or another browser that understands the "archive" tag, and your downloads will be faster.
  • Applet on level sets -- contour lines -- for functions of two variables.

    • The applets in unarchived form
    Use these links if you are using Netscape Navigator 3, or another browser that does not understand the "archive" tag, and the applets will be downloaded the old-fashioned way: one class at a time.
  • Applet on level sets -- contour lines -- for functions of two variables.

    • Projects and experiments for use with these applets
    The following links are to pdf files outlining mathematical experiments designed to be done with these applets. Since several of the applets are on closely related subjects, some of these experiments involve the use of two or more of the applets, while others just use one.

    Section Contents

  • Experiments with contour curves and gradients

  • Experiments with contour curves and gradients

     This project is designed to lead to a deeper understanding of the gradient, and its relation to contour curves and critical points.

    Project resources

  • The questions to be explored and answered.
  • Notes and hints on use of the applets for studying these questions.
