Note Well: These are a series of java applets that are under development and being tested for use with upperclass undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Please feel free to use them. Also, these applets run well under recent versions of Internet Explorer (4.5 for MacOS and 5.0 for Windows) but may not run under Netscape. Suggestions on how to improve them and inspirational ideas on new applets are greatly appreciated. Contact
