Graphing
Winplot, a FREE downloadable graphing utility, will show you a surface of revolution. It will plot points, graph the equation, show you the surface of revolution when you revolve the equation, and calculate the volume. It doesn't do regression, so you'd have to do that part on the calculator and then add the equation to winplot. Just google winplot. Choose the first website from the list, and click on the underlined winplot link in the top left corner to download. It's fabulous! FYI it'll show cross-sectional solids too! A cool graph generator online. It permits you to enter any labels, percentages, etc... and you can save it as a pdf, jpg, or many other file types. Thought it may be useful for powerpoint presentations or for use with easiteach. __http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createAgraph/default.aspx __

Programming:

Carnegie Mellon has a free 3D programming called ALICE that you may find interesting. __http://www.alice.org/ __ Alice 2.0 is for high school Randy Pausch (The Last Lecture) oversaw the original development of Alice. Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a freely available teaching tool designed to be a student's first exposure to object-oriented programming. It allows students to learn fundamental programming concepts in the context of creating animated movies and simple video games. In Alice, 3-D objects (e.g., people, animals, and vehicles) populate a virtual world and students create a program to animate the objects. In Alice's interactive interface, students drag and drop graphic tiles to create a program, where the instructions correspond to standard statements in a production oriented programming language, such as Java, C++, and C#. Alice allows students to immediately see how their animation programs run, enabling them to easily understand the relationship between the programming statements and the behavior of objects in their animation. By manipulating the objects in their virtual world, students gain experience with all the programming constructs typically taught in an introductory programming course.
