Each week during the semester, we will introduce one or
more websites which will be useful and
fun for your Math 112 course.
Week 1: Here are some
weblinks which calculate integrals
Riemann Sums http://mss.math.vanderbilt.edu/~pscrooke/MSS/rs.html
(Left, right-endpoint sums, midpoint rule)
Definite Integral http://mss.math.vanderbilt.edu/~pscrooke/MSS/definiteintegral.html
Antiderivative http://mss.math.vanderbilt.edu/~pscrooke/MSS/antiderivative.html
Numerical Integration http://mss.math.vanderbilt.edu/~pscrooke/MSS/numintegration.html
(midpoint, trapezoid, and Simpson)
All these webpages are parts of a Mathematical Toolkit developed in Vanderbilt
University.
The link for the whole project is MathServ http://math.vanderbilt.edu/mathserv/index.html
and you will mostly use Calculus Toolkithttp://mss.math.vanderbilt.edu/~pscrooke/toolkit.html
An alternate link for antiderivative is The Integrator http://integrals.wolfram.com/
All links above are engined by Mathmatica, a
commercial software.
Another set of Java Applets is based on Maple, see MapleNet
- Tutorial Applets
http://maplenet.maplesoft.com/maplets/
(they seem slow and hard to load, but give better results)
