JAVA APPLETS for Math 153

Listed below are some terrific JAVA APPLETS that I found at the Duke University website. They do an absolutely wonderful job at animating some of the topics that we will be discussing this semester. When you see the coffee icon (it was the best I could do for JAVA, I'll apologize for the premeditated cuteness in advance), click on the icon and you will be at the website that contains the applet. Simply do what the directions tell you, and watch what happens.
