Read the MERLOT Description of the Falstad Applets

This collection of java applets provides high quality simulations of physics and math concepts. Each applet gives a detailed, often 3D visual display of a set of related physical systems. The applets provide the user with a wide range of options for changing the parameters, viewing different information about the system, and interacting with the simulation.

A few of the unique features of these applets include the ability for users to make "measurements" on quantum systems, design antennas and view their radiation patterns, and explore normal modes of oscillators.
