Java Program Tutorial
Introduction
The java applet, developed by David Eigen ('03), is a useful learning tool that can be applied to almost any area of mathematics. In recent years it has been used extensively by Professor Banchoff and his associates to create demonstrations of key concepts in multivariable calculus, differential geometry, and non-Euclidean geometry. The demonstrations most often show up within the context of laboratories which both introduce the relevant material and encourage students to play around and experiment with the demos. The beauty of this java program is that it allows the user to not only view demonstrations but also to create them. This tutorial provides instruction on how to use and produce a demonstration using the many features of this versatile java program.
