Table of contents






The Gallery consists of interactive multimedia learning units on various issues that shall facilitate understanding. Technically, most units are Java applets, some are graphical supplements or other programs (JavaScript). For practice and (self) control, visit the collection of interactive tests.

A more systematic outline of the underlying mathematical background is included in the German version of maths online. (It is one of our future plans to translate this part into English language).

The Gallery is under construction since March 1998, and new learning units are added continuously. We appreciate feedback about your experience with our material.




The learning units of the Gallery


You may call the learning units directly by clicking the respective icon
  for applets,
  for graphics or sequences of graphics, and
  for other programs
A click on a hyperlink leads you to a page collecting and briefly describing all learning units of a chapter. Occasionally, remarks on additional material and further information on the web are made.
