Logically, an eTEACH presentation consists of digital streaming video, a coordinated ?slide show?, a table of contents, and possibly optional materials and links to external web sites. The actual materials stored on the web server are an HTML frameset, associated web pages, the digital video, and associated JavaScript code, which controls and coordinates the presentation. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91248 TrackStar is an on-line interface that helps instructors organize and annotate Web sites (URLs) into lessons. The list of resources acts like a table of contents and remains visible throughout the lesson allowing the user/student to easily browse through the lesson and stay on track. It can be used to create your own easy-to-use Web lessons and presentations or you can find and use ready-to-go lessons created by other educators. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82909 An excellent online tutorial on Linux basics http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83200 The goal of this site is to visualize the mathematical structure behind M.C. Escher's picture called "Print Gallery" (1956). The visualization itself is largely non-mathematical and is accomplished through many still images and animations. The actual mathematics, involving conformal mappings of the complex plane, is contained in a pdf copy of the original AMS publication. The Droste Effect refers to any image that contains itself on a smaller scale. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=74841 java applet code for image-warping program http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=74760 The above Java Applet simulates a simple computer consisting of 32 8 bit memory words. The computer operates by fetching a word in memory pointed to by the Program Counter (PC) into the Instruction Register (IR)and then executing this instruction. The Program Counter is then incremented by one and the process is repeated until a Halt instruction is fetched at which time the computer stops and the binary number in the Accumulator (ACC)can be read. Example Programs of Prime Number Generator, Euclid's Algo http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=74833 The 8-queens problem is a well-known constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) of classical AI. The task is: given a standard chessboard and 8 chess queens, place them on the board so that no queen is on the line of attack of any other queen. This problem can be easily generalized to the case of N queens on the NxN board. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=77175 This is a text-based program that allows the user to enter in process information (number of process, quanta, context switch time, & CPU time per process). It is an .exe files that you save on to your computer. The program then displays the round-robin based scheduling of the process and computes the turnaround for each process and the average turnaround time. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82986 A graphical animation of the process of adding and subtracting two numbers coded in the binary, base-2 system. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89553 Arc is a free, unique, menu-driven statistical analysis tool for regression problems, as described in the book Applied Regression Including Computing and Graphics. Arc is based on Luke Tierney's Xlisp-Stat. When you download Arc, you get most of Xlisp-Stat as well. Download the version you need for your system. The currentversion of Arc is version 1.03, released on August 1, 2000.
