An applet produced by yours truly exploring transformations of the sine function.
An applet produced by yours truly exploring the relationships between the volumes of a sphere, cone, and cylinder.
This applet lets you set the diameter of a circle and then “roll” the circle to unravel its circumference along a ruler, showing the relationship between circumference and diameter (pi=c/d).
This applet fires random data points at a circle inscribed within a square and shows that P(landing in circle) = π/4. Therefore, a good approximation for pi is P(landing in circle)*4.
This applet illustrates the method Archimedes used to approximate pi using many-sided polygons inscribed and circumscribed about a circle.
Applet illustrates finding an approximation for pi using the famous Buffon’s Needle.
This applet allows the user to manipulate different components of a circle and view how each adjustment affects its elements.
