Student Module for 'Thinking Outside the Box'

This is a student module for the article, which presents a fresh look at an age-old calculus optimization problem, the 'box problem.'

Projectile Motion Simulation
This applet encourages students to use the mathematics of the motion of a projectile to choose angle and velocity necessary to hit a roving target. The source code is available from the link within the Sharing Area of the Flash Forum.
Higher Dimensional Conundra
In this article we examine several specific geometric phenomena in Euclidean space and calculate the asymptotics as the dimension gets large.
Towards a Coherent On-line Collection of Tools
A Developers' Area article about reuse and interoperability of mathematical tools.
Geometry Playground

Geometry Playground (v1.3) is a free Java application for doing "ruler and compass" constructions in both Euclidean, Spherical, Projective, Hyperbolic, Toroidal, Manhattan and Conical geometries. Its purpose is to help users develop a familiarity with various conceptualizations of these geometries.
