Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding interactive websites for trigonometry that do not utilize Java or Flash applets. Participants are exploring options for server-side applications or alternative formats that can be used for an assignment.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses frustration in finding interactive trigonometry websites that do not rely on Java applets, emphasizing the urgency of the assignment.
  • Another participant suggests using a search engine to find trigonometry websites, implying that there are many available.
  • A participant provides a link to a website but notes that many game development sites use trigonometry without offering interactive demos.
  • One participant reiterates the issue of reliance on Java applets and mentions that Flash is also not an option, seeking server-side solutions instead.
  • Several URLs are shared by a participant who claims to have searched for JavaScript-based trigonometry resources.
  • A participant clarifies the need for non-Java and non-Flash solutions, emphasizing the requirement for server-side applications.
  • Another participant repeats the need for non-Java solutions and shares a link to clarify the distinction between Java and JavaScript.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not seem to reach a consensus on the availability of suitable websites, with some suggesting that options exist while others maintain that the specific requirements make it challenging to find appropriate resources.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations in available resources due to the specific requirement of avoiding Java and Flash, which may restrict the options for interactive trigonometry tools.

I recently was given an assignment to find three interactive websites that refer to sine, cosine, and tangent. This wouldn't be a problem... if it weren't for the fact that the laptops they are required to run on do not have Java, and cannot load the applets. I need the URLs for these sites by no later than, say, eleven o' clock tonight.

I'm posting here because I simply can NOT find a website that does not utilize Java applets, and am at the end of my tether. Any websites would be greatly, greatly appretiated. They can be emailed to jpgohlke@gmail.com.

Thanks for all your help.

Have you tried to google "trigonometry"? You will get lots of web sites. See if any will do.

any game dev site would use lots ofd trig but not actually have trig demos

The problem isn't lack of websites. It's that all the websites rely on Java Applets to run their programs/all the interactive parts. As I said, I can't use Java, so I need things that are server side or use some other format. I just discovered that flash doesn't work either... heh.

...That's exactly the opposite of what I need. What I'm saying is that I need things that do not use Java. They can not use Flash, either. They need to be server side applications. .php, .asp, whatever.

Anyhow, it doesn't matter now. It's all worked out, thanks for all your help.
