If the above says that Java is not enabled then you must
sort this problem as almost every page relies on Java to display the
interactive parts. In Internet Explorer go to Tools >> Internet
Options >> Advanced and scroll down the list to the Java
section. Any users still having problems are advised to install the newest Java
version at SUN. |
Cinderella
 Many pages in this unit use a
Java program called Cinderella.
Cinderella is a program
designed to allow students to investigate geometry in an interactive way.
Be patient when starting because the first page may take a few minutes
to load. After that, the whole process speeds up.
According to
the creators of Cinderella, these browsers will work:
Netscape
Navigator/Communicator 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.5 for Windows and Unix (not
Macintosh), Netscape Navigator 4.5 with Java 1.1 patch, or Internet Explorer 4,

 JavaMath applets are used throughout
to show various types of graphs. The display can be altered in some way by
using the mouse or by using sliders provided. Zooming in and out is achieved as

the left mouse button
- zoom in by dragging a
out a box with the left mouse button
- zoom out by

- drag the display by
clicking and dragging with the right mouse button
They are
from a collection of applets written by Professor David J. Eck (Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva,
New York 14456). Website: http://math.hws.edu/eck/. They should
download fairly quickly.
Wisweb
 This
Wisweb applet and the "find the function" applet
were both developed by Peter Boon (p.boon@fi.uu.nl) and are used with his
permission. They are also available on the WisWeb website.
The applet is used to
show how functions can be constructed using a flow diagram approach. Dynamic
tables of values can be displayed too and graphs linked to these
tables.
 Descartes applets are used to show
some types of graphs. The display can be altered in some way by using the mouse
or by using buttons
 provided. The applet is available free from the
Descartes
website
HotEqn
 Interactive algebra displays are provided by HotEqn. HotEqn is a Java applet to view and display
interactive mathematical equations on the Web. From
HotEqn
at the Virtual Control Lab.
