NetMath at the University of Illinois

I avoided calculus for 18 years because I was afraid of it, and finally took it because it was the only thing that was between me and Dartmouth Medical School. With this class, the things that *shouldn't* be painful to learn -- like how a plot changes when you change the slope -- wasn't. Reading a written description of how a plot changes, then having to visualize it in my head -- and wondering if I'm even visualizing it correctly -- is excruciating for a Math Phobe like me! The computer graphics made math much more palatable than it would've been had I taken a traditional math class.
