Calculus Resources on the Web:
 

• Limits:  The following website does not have the best graphics and it's not interactive, but I think that it gives a good explanantion of limits: www.coolmath.com/limit1.htm .  For limits you may also want to look at  www.ima.umn.edu/~arnold/graphics-j.html .  Here the eigth picture has to do with limits.
• Tangents and Derivatives:  Again, Douglas Arnold's site www.ima.umn.edu/~arnold/graphics-j.html offers some great graphics that help to explain where derivatives come from.  Here you may want to look at the fifth and sixth pictures.
• Constructing Equations: When doing word problems in calculus class, many students often find setting up the problems to be the most difficult aspect of the problem.  The following web site helps students to visualize what is going on in various situations that often come up in optimization problems.  This site then prompts the students to construct the necessary equations to start an optimization problem.  I think that this site would really help students before they got to optimization in class.  To check this out click  here .  Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see several animantions that you can chose from.  The Jave applets are particularly fun.  This site is part of the  Demos with Positive Impact  project.  If you are interested in learning more about this project, you may want to contact Dr. Hill at hill@math.temple.edu.
• Related Rates: Again I recommend the Demos with Positive Impact  site.  This time, try the  Visualization for Related Rates  site.

I would like to thank Dr. Zitarelli for giving me the opportunity to explore the many computing options for calculus and I would also like to thank Dr. Hill for taking the time to meet with me and give me many good ideas!
