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)

- 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.

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.

- 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.
