Ordinary Differential Equations Manipulatives ("Mathlets")

In the course, we will employ a series of specially written computer toys, or demonstrations, called "Mathlets." You will see them used in lecture occasionally, and each problem set will contain a problem based around one or another of them. Each Mathlet has an associated "Help" file which will open in a new window and provide user instructions.

Funding for the development of the Mathlets was provided by a grant from the The d'Arbeloff Fund for Excellence in MIT Education as part of The d'Arbeloff Interactive Mathematics Project (d'A I M P). The Mathlets were designed and developed in collaboration with Hubert Hohn. Used with permission.
