Applet Collections
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Rossman/Chance Applet Collection | This collection of applets is specific to statistics, and offers aid in areas ranging from probability to statistical inference. |
| Wolfram Demonstrations Project | This collection has a range of applets from mathematics, to art, to the physical sciences! The mathematics portion has applets for the high school level, as well as many other interesting mathematical topics. |
| Project Interactivate | A site with applets for subjects in Algebra, Calculus, Discrete, Geometry, Probability, Statistics, etc. The collections allows you to search by subject or by grade level, ranging from 3rd grade to undergraduate. |
| Apps on Mathematics | This collection created by Walter Fendt has a variety of applets in the areas of arithmetic and geometry. They are all used with HTML5, so there are no problems with java. |
| Saltaire Software | This site has many applets specific to geometry; from simple to advanced. |
| Calculus Applets - Geogebra | Here is a large collection of Calculus related Geogebra applets; they range from derivatives and integrals, to differential equations and series. |
Infinity Applets
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Riemann Sums | This applet helps to visualize how Riemann sums can approximate the area under a curve. The user can see that, as the number of rectangles approaches infinity, the sum approaches the actual area. |
| Infinite Series | This program helps visualize how we can use infinite series to approximate famous mathematical constants. |
| Sum of Infinite Geometric Series | This applet allows you to visualize the sum of an infinite, geometric series as you add terms to the series and change the common ratio in the series. |
| Limits at Infinity | This Geogebra outlet lets the user visualize how some values approach infinity in some piecewise functions and functions with asymptotes. |
| Riemann Sums Cont. | Here is another Geogebra applet for visualizing how Riemann sums approximate the area under a curve. |
| Baravelle's Spiral | This applet uses Baravelle's Spiral to visualize the sum of an infinite geometric sequence. |

Original Applets
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Sine Transformations | This applet shows how changing the values of A and B will change the function f(x)=Asin(Bx). |
| Conic Sections in 3D Space | This applet allows the user to manipulate the different conic sections in a 3-Dimensional Plane. |
| Rectangular and Polar Coordinates | This applet show the relationship between rectangular and polar coordinates. |
| Volumes of Spheres, Cones and Cylinders | This applet helps the user discover the relationship between the volumes of spheres, cones and cylinders. |
| Upper and Lower Sums | This applet investigates upper and lower sums in comparison to the actual area under a curve. |
| Normal Approximation to the Binomial | This applet investigates the normal approximation to a binomial distribution. |
| Area of a Circle: Using Triangles | This applet allows the user to investigate a method of approximating the area of a circle. |
| Power Series Expansion | This applet explores the power series expansions for different functions. |
| Discovering the Formula for the Area of a Circle | This applet leads the user to discover where the formula for the area of a circle actually comes from. |
What is Infinity? : Podcast on Infinity
(Podcast Script)
"We should read that as "the limit as x becomes infinite," not as "x approaches infinity" because again, infinity is neither a number nor a place."
