Conic Sections
 This series investigates the properties of the figures known as conic sections. A cone is intersected with a plane at different angles. An examination of the graphs of some simple second-degree relations reveals the shape of the parabola. The equatio...(more details) |

Trigonometric Functions 2: Sinusoidal Waves
Sine, cosine, and tangent functions are introduced through an examination of their graphs on the Cartesian plane. To develop a general equation for sinusoidal waves, the characteristics of amplitude and period are examined. The program shows that the...(more details) |

Vectors
Using computer animation, this series investigates vectors. The definition of a vector is developed with several examples. Vectors at right angles to each other are added, and by means of the Pythagorean theorem and the tangent ratio, the magnitude a...(more details) |
