Calc 3 resources

Chapter 12: Sequences and Series (from Visual Calculus by Lawrence S. Husch at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville)

§11.1 and §14.1: link to animation that shows the drawing of a cycloid (from Visual Calculus by Lawrence S. Husch at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville)

§11.1 and §11.5: Java applets (by TJ Murphy at the University of Oklahoma)

• the Parametric Curves Applet behaves much like a graphing calculator but will simultaneously display the graphs of t versus x(t), t versus y(t), and x(t) versus y(t), on separate sets of axes. The user has additional options to (1) show the progression of points being plotted as t increases; (2) trace simultaneously along all three curves; and (3) trace simultaneously along all three curves with tangent lines.

• the Polar Curves and Area Applet behaves much like a graphing calculator but adds two features: the user has options to (1) plot points on the user-specified polar curve given by r(t) beginning at a user-specified value of t; and (2) fill in the area bounded by a user-specified polar curve given by r(t) beginning at a user-specified value of t.

• Download the browser plug-in needed to run the applets.

• Read the guide for installing and troubleshooting the plug-in (by Jason M. McDaniel at the University of Oklahoma).
