Examples

This page showcases some "live" documents that have been created with the help of the QMTools software. The documents included here take two forms: exercises and tutorials. [For an alternate organization with summaries, see document list with text references to Modern Physics, 3rd Edition, by Serway, Moses, and Moyer]

As these use Java applets, you will need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5 or later, available from Sun Microsystems at http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/. No further manual installation is needed to display the examples on this page –just click the links below.

These documents use the newest (version 2.0) of QMTools. To display them properly, we recommend that you purge your system of any earlier versions of the software (including JOGL libraries that were placed in the JRE extensions directory during installation of version 1.0).
