VRML and JAVA Resources for the Curricula

(in order to run Java applets, you need a Java-enabled browser, such as Netscape 4.0; in order to view VRML scenes, you need a VRML plug-in, such as Cosmo Player) Links to other lists of resources:

These are some of the Internet storehouses for Java applets. They have everything imaginable, from graphics to signal processing, arts to computer science, and of course games.

VRML scene of the topography of Thornapple TWP, Barry Co., MI

This simple scene is a VRML extension of the GIS database used in Michigan GIS Institute, and in Geog 569 class taught by Ilya Zaslavsky at Western Michigan University. Here is a description of procedures involved in converting the initial elevation points (in ArcView) to matrix of elevations, massaging these elevations in Matlab, and creating the .wrl file. Look also at virtual scene for the same area created by Arc/Info 7.1 from TIN, with TIN2VRML command.

GPS simulation with Java
World population clock
Demographic Data Viewer: DDViewer will let you create maps and calculate statistics for 220 demographic variables from the 1990 U.S.Census, by states, counties, and census tracts. Resources for

Resources for Biology

JaMBW, the Java based Molecular Biologist's Workbench

"The programs and documentation that you will find hereby enclosed had been put together in order to try to give a free access to the exploitment of the most common bioinformatic operations that a molecular biologist currently has."

Java Radiology Viewer

This applet shows the human brain in detail. It allows the user to choose which level of the brain to view and the corresponding view will appear in the next window.

Visible Human Viewer

This is essentially the same applet as above. Instead of the brain, it shows the human body.

Swarm:

An applet simulating a flock of birds using three steering behaviors:
1.Separation: steer to avoid crowding local flockmates.
2.Alignment: steer towards the average heading of local flockmates.
3.Cohesion: steer to move toward the average position of local flockmates.

WebMol

This is a molecular viewer applet. It allows the user to enter the PDB number of the molecule he wishes to view. The user can rotate the molecule and zoom in and out of the picture.

Other biology-related applets from Gamelan

Resources for Mathematics and Statistics

Math Wizards

Math Wizards is the Java implementation of a Matlab clone. It uses syntax very similar to Matlab. Mandelbrot Set A small applet that calculates a Mandelbrot set. You can zoom in, and flip through the history. Systems of Linear Equations Solver This applet solves a system of linear equations via the LU Decomposition method. 3D Plotter This is an extensive 3D plotter. It allows plots using trig functions, sqrt(), log() and many other functions. It is a very flexible graphic program, allowing zoom and scaling.
Neural networks with Java Resources for Chemistry

ChemSymphony , a suite of applets for visualizing molecules and processing chemistry data.

It is aplatform-independent set of interactive Java applets that allows 3-D molecular structures to be easily incorporated into HTML documents. The structures can be manipulated in real time, rendered in a variety of styles which may be edited by the user.

Resources for Computer Science

Animated Sorting Algorithms

Three sorting animations from JavaSoft, of Bubble Sort, Bi-directional Bubble Sort, and Quick Sort algorithms, with source code

Fractal Simulation from JavaSoft, with source code Resources for BusinessStock Applet This is a stock price tracking applet. Once you entered in the company you wish to look at, it will display its stock prices for the last several days. Mutual Fund Order Entry and Lookup This is an example of mutual fund order entry program. Currency Exchange Calculator This applet calculates currency exchange based on the rates posted at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
