Beyond Applets: Introducing Mathwright Microworlds

It is my purpose in this short paper to describe a new type of web document that has recently made its appearance at the New Mathwright Library and Café (<http://www.mathwright.com>) and to discuss it in two lights: from the point of view of its readers (students of mathematics), and from the point of view of its prospective authors (teachers of mathematics). These documents are called Mathwright Microworlds. You are welcome to visit a few of our Microworlds by downloading our free MathwrightWeb Control at http://www.mathwright.com/mathwrightweb.html
