 Teacher Review (Not based on classroom experience)Reviewer: OklaMathman, Aug 4 2004 6:11PM |
Review based on: personal experience |
Appropriate for: introduction to a concept |
Other Comments: I truly believe that this application is mislabeled. It is a good exercise in adding and subtracting vector forces. Just saying a and b are complex numbers is not enough. There should be a way to display what a and b are in standard complex form: a+bi |
What math does one need to know to use the resource? a beginning of how comlex numbers are graphed. |
What hardware expertise does one need to learn to use the resource? how to use a mouse to click and drag |
What extra things must be done to make it work? none |
How hard was it for you to learn? Easy |
Explanation: from my use of applets I am pretty used to clicking the endpoint of almost anything and dragging it around the screen if possible. Maybe you should mention it in your directions |
Ability to meet my goals: Ineffective |
