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 Anton Calculus:
A collection of applets I
wrote for exploring Calculus.
-
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.
-
Shell Method Exploration
: Similar to the previous applet, but explores
solids of revolution using the shell method.
- 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.
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.

for Word, with CTRL-c, click
here and choose Run when asked about the certificate.)
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: My Dynamic Math Pages
and the graphic at the top of this page are Java applets, and
require your browser to be Java-enabled.
