Links

Here are some links to other physics simulation websites, plus general math and physics websites.

• PhysicsWeb.org has a large list of physics applets.
• Paul Falstad has an excellent collection of math and physics applets.
• Physics resources The-Science-Lab is a directory of physics related websites.
• The very popular soda constructor lets you make 2D stick figures that move realistically. There is a page on how it works.
• An excellent online paper titled Examination of Chaos in Multiple Pendulum Systems Through Computer Visualization in Java has some very nice simulations that show the development of chaos in a pendulum.
• Syracuse University Physics has some interactive Java simulations including an interesting Gravity Simulation.
• "Really" is a PC program that creates a virtual 2d world, simulating complex objects.
• ExploreScience.com has several nice physics simulations, created with Shockwave.
• Mississippi State University has a collection of links to physics simulations from around the world.
• mathengine provides commercial software for physics simulations used in video games, engineering and academics.

Math Links

• Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics is an extensive encyclopedia of information.
• KaBoL is a "cool math site of the week" service provided by the Canadian Mathematical Society.
• The Math Forum @ Drexel University provides many math resources including the popular Ask Dr. Math and the Math Forum Internet Mathematics Library
