Professor Seeburger's Dynamic Math Pages:
- My
Dynamic Calculus Website:
Presently this site
allows you to download a collection of Excel
Calculus Explorations that I created and/or PDF
handouts from math conference presentations and
workshops I have given. You can also
contribute to a discussion on the topic of using
technology to help students visualize calculus.
-
Applets supporting Larson Calculus: A collection of applets I
created for exploring Calculus using the Larson ET
textbook.
-
Applets supporting Hughes-Hallett Calculus: A collection of applets I
created for exploring Calculus using the
Hughes-Hallett Calculus textbook.
- Applets
supporting Anton Calculus: A
collection of applets I wrote for exploring
Calculus. Here is a link to the old 8th
edition applets:

-
Applets supporting Salas Calculus: A second collection of
applets I created for exploring Calculus.
- Equation Grapher : This applet allows you to graph an
equation of the form, y = f(x).
- Equation Grapher with
Calculus Explorations : This
applet allows you to see the tangent lines to the
graph of a function as you move along its graph,
the graph of a function and its derivative
together, the area function formed by accumulating
the area under a graph, and much more.
(To
enable copying of the graph's image to the
clipboard as an EMF image for Word, with CTRL-c, click
here and choose Run when asked about the
certificate.) Sometimes it is helpful to resize
the browser window to resize the graph while
keeping the text larger for small graphs.

-
Difference
Quotient Exploration : This
applet allows you to see how the difference
quotient function (f(x + h) - f(x))/h
approaches the derivative function, f '(x), by
varying the value of h (the change in x).
Computing Volumes:
-
Washer
Method Exploration
: With this applet, you can explore
solids of revolution using the washer
method. (Link to old
version of applet.)
-
Shell
Method Exploration
: Similar to the previous applet,
but explores solids of revolution using the shell
method. (Link to old
version of applet.)
-
Volumes
of a Common Cross-Section Exploration
: This applet allows you to explore solids formed
by cross-sections that are the same shape, but
whose size is determined by their base over a
given region in the plane. (Link to
old version of applet.)
Slope Fields:
-
Slope Field
Exploration : Use this tool to
explore the slope fields of first-order
differential equations and to visually check their
general solutions.
(To enable copying of the image to the clipboard
as an EMF image for Word, with CTRL-c, click
here and choose Run when asked about the
certificate.)
-
Direction Field Exploration: An
updated version of the Slope Field Exploration
that displays direction fields (with arrows) by
default.
Multivariable Calculus:
-
3D Function
Plotter & Taylor Polynomials of functions
of 2 variables : Use this tool
to graph functions of two variables.
You can also choose to view the Taylor Polynomials
in two variables of these functions. The
default center point is (0, 0), but you can enter
another point to center the expansion about by
hitting CTRL-d.
Note that this applet has been greatly expanded in
the CalcPlot3D
Exploration Applet described
above.
Note: My Dynamic
Math Pages and the graphic at the top of this page are
Java applets, and require your browser to be
Java-enabled.
Check to see if you can
enable Java in your browser.
If not, then

your computer.
