MathinSite: Java Maths on the Web

The MathinSite web site is currently under development. Its main aim is to deepen students’ mathematical understanding promoted by, amongst other things, the use of Java applets with a strong graphical content… MathinSite’s applets are not intended for use as a self-learning package.
