PHYSLETS were developed at Davidson University by Wolfgang Christian. They are java applets that can be called from some javascript code in a web page. The links below contain physlets written or adapted for use at LTU by Dr. Scott Schneider. If you want to load these physlets locally on your machine, click here for more information [being updated - check back later] (or if you are running this page locally, click here for the page out on the web [being updated - check back later] ).
JAVA NEEDED! For those on LTU Campus, our new XP laptops don't come with the Java Runtime Environment loaded - see this page for information on how you can download it from Sun's website. You need the JRE loaded to be able to run the physlets!
Want to load these physlets locally to your machine (and be able to refresh the list at will)? - look at the information on this page!
