Interactive Animations ​
Calculus is the study of change.  The ability to change a parameter and immediately see the result can demonstrate that change and how things are related during that change.  Many of these concepts are much easier to explain if that change, the motion, can be visually demonstrated in class.  Therefore, this is a perfect place for the use of computer animations.  

All animations were created using the GeoGebra dynamic mathematics software application located on GeoGebra's website.
Please be patient! It takes awhile for these to load.  
​Widen the browser, if necessary, to see the entire animation.
