| Strengths: |
The buttons found on these applets are clearly marked. They allow the user to enter functions, view graph range controls, and view accurate cursor location information. The function syntax is similar to most graphing calculators, and is clearly explained on a separate page. There are also 11 commonly used functions available, including sine, cosine, tangent, arcsine, arctangent, exp, and absolute value. The use of this applet is fairly intuitive. The average user can begin using it immediately with a brief introduction. Although the applet is copyrighted, it is available for free academic, non-profit use. The class files and most of the source code are also made available for download as well as an introduction to writing your own applets using these resources. |
