Max-Min Demonstrations from the Wolfram Demonstrations Project

These are some of the demonstrations from the Wolfram Demonstrations Project that illustrate classic Calculus I optimization problems. To interact with these online you'll need to download and install Wolfram's free CDF Player.

Introduction to Rectilinear Motion

Watch a particle moving along a line and figure out how to draw the corresponding position vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs. It is possible to change the position function by typing "s(x) = " followed by whatever function you'd like in the input line. (You can also access this applet on GeoGebraTube.)

Calculus Grapher

A nice applet from the PhET project at the University of Colorado enabling you to quickly "sketch" a graph of a particular shape and to see graphs of its derivative and integral.

SticiGui

There are lots of applets embedded in the relevant locations in this full-length interactive statistics text written by Professor Philip Stark at UC Berkeley.

Basic Descriptive Statistics

This applet from the UK's National STEM Centre allows you to input a mini frequency distribution and then look at various representations of it.

GeoGebra Calculus Applets Project

"

This is a collection of applets created by Marc Renault of Shippensburg University. Marc's "goal is to make a complete library of applets for Calculus I that are suitable for in-class demonstrations and/or student exploration."

Introduction to Area Under a Curve

In this applet from the GeoGebra Calculus Applets Project, you enter a function and position endpoints to see what the value of the integral is.
