Applets:
An important aspect of DEMOS with POSITIVE IMPACT is the
involvement of students.
We have been fortunate to have a talented group of students who have developed
Java
applets to compliment a number of the demos. The applets along with their
creators follow:
Artery
Constriction by Ge Yan, Yuchi Ting, & Zaid Muhammad (in the
wordproblem demo)
Cross-sectional area of an artery is constricted by a percent of change.
Artery
Constriction by Ge Yan & Yuchi Ting (in the wordproblem demo)
Cross-sectional area of an artery is constricted by a fixed change.
Bacteria
Growth Simulation by Philip Nicastro and Michael Shelmut (in the
elementary probability demos)
A Monte Carlo simulation of bacteria distribution in an experiment.
Build-a-box
by Ranchao Jin (in the wordproblem demo)
A square is cut from each corner of a square piece of material to form a box.
Cubic
Crystal Growth by Ranchao Jin (in the wordproblem demo)
A cubic crystal grows at a fixed rate.
Chocolate Chip Simulation by Philip Nicastro and David Spearing (in
the elementary probability demos)
A fixed number of chocolate chips are to be randomly allocated to 100 cookies.
Distance from a point to a Curve by Ge Yan & Yuchi Ting (in the
maxmin demo)
Given a curve y = f(x) and a point (a,b) not on the curve, determine the point
on the curve closest to (a,b).
Inequality DEMO by Philip Nicastro (in the inequality demo)
A tool for teaching about linear inequalities.
Inscribe a Rectangle in an Right Isosceles Triangle by Jun Park (in
the maxmin demo)
The user chooses the length of the legs of the triangle and tries to determine
the rectangle of maximal
area that can be inscribed in the triangle.i
Pump
Simulation by Philip Nicastro (in the elementary probability demos)
A Monte Carlo simulation determine if pumping between two points is possible.
Pump Experiment Simulator by Philip Nicastro (in the elementary
probability demos)
A utility to perform a set of pump simulation experiments.
Rainbow Simulation by Saritha Somasundaram (in the elementary
probability demos)
A graphics display of a rainbow simulation.
Random Number Generator for the Logistics Demo by Saritha
Somasundaram (in the logistics demo)
This provides a browser based utility for the generation of the random choices
in the demo.
RGB
Color Demo by Joshua Kraft (in RGB demo)
An interactive formation of a linear combination of primary colors.
Rowing & Walking by Jun Park (in maxmin demo)
Interactive routine to determine the minimum time to use a combination of rowing
and
walking between two points.
All of the creators were students at Temple University.
