Interactive web applications, whether created from scratch with Java applets, for example, or put together from software such as the MATLAB Web Server and webMathematica, -- two services offered by Academic Computing -- can be a great aid in teaching difficult math and science concepts. This presentation will give an overview of these technologies and feature examples drawn from MIT courses. It will discuss what it takes to create such applications and how they are used in the classroom and/or in homework assignments.
