The Slope Field Applet
BHS

Calculus -> this page
The applet below (which should appear in a Java-enabled browser) will
help you visualize and understand the relationships between a
differential equation, its slope field (also called a direction
field), and the solutions to the differential equation. To see what's
going on, press the "Instructions" button below.
(NOTE: This applet is still under development, and there
are some problems. It works fine in Explorer both on the PC and the
Mac, but does not run well under Netscape, particularly on the Mac,
where it doesn't run at all... I don't yet have a clue about
this.)
