The following links are to short tutorials on a few topics
encountered
in first semester Calculus. These tutorials are interactive in
that
the animations are controlled by clicking on the Next Arrow located in
the upper right of the screen. After all of the steps have been
completed,
you can click on the Start Over button or you can click on any of the
partial
results that are covered with shades of gray. By clicking on a
gray
shaded partial result, hopefully the short animation will answer the
commonly
asked question of "Where did this stuff come from?"

These tutorials involve interactive animations programmed using
Macromedia
Flash 5 and Action Script. If you see math equations moving
below,
then you have the Flash 5 Player plug-in. If you do not have the
Macromedia Flash 5 Player (or the newer version 6) installed with your
browser, then you will not see the moving equations. If you would
like to download the Flash plug-in and join the 21st century of the
web,
then link to the
Macromedia
Flash Player site, click on "Download Now," and follow the
instructions.
All comments are welcome, so please let me know what is good or bad
about the way this stuff is presented. I plan to add more stuff
in
the future, so feel free to tell me what types of concepts you would
like
to see added. This is "work in progress".
