Other Multivariable Calculus Websites & Resources
-
Be sure to check out the Multivariable Calculus Course Community on the MAA’s MathDL website! There are a number of very useful online resources and links for teaching multivariable calculus. In fact, there are also course communities with online resource collections for Single Variable Calculusand Differential Equations (ODE).

Multivariable Calculus Online by Jeff Knisley, Dept. of Math., East Tennessee State University: http://math.etsu.edu/MultiCalc/
Another nice page listing applets by Jeff Knisley and showing images of them: http://www.butlercc.edu/mathematics/Utilities/tools_multivariable_knisley/ -
Another very cool multivariable calculus grapher which helped me figure out how to create 3D Anaglyphs (using 3D glasses): http://3d-xplormath.org/j/index.html.
A direct link to the applet form of this grapher (in the form of many focused applets) is at:
