- Description:
- Preschool Primer 2.0 - This stack was created over a period of about four
- years for my son. I periodically added new features as the need arose. It
- helped him learn his ABC's when he was about two and a half (he's 6 now).
- It helped him memorize several phone numbers including 911 and his own
- phone number by the time he was three and a half. It helped us provide a
- simple method to try to teach him about child safety and the days of the
- week. The HyperCard stack consists primarily of buttons that, when
- clicked, play a sound, flash a button or two and teach the child by sheer,
- although non-boring, visual and aural repetitious discovery.

- slope and roughness, block size, center of gravity, point of application
- and direction of the force applied can all be interactively changed with
- the aid of the mouse. Analysis includes finding the point of contact of
- the block on the surface, the numerical values for the normal and friction
- forces, magnitudes of the applied force to cause impending motion, and the
- animation of the motion in the case of tipping or sliding.

- cross-sections. Foil can generate NACA 4 and 5 digit airfoils, as well as
- accept coordinates as input. Output can be to the screen, printer, or
- disk, in numerical or graphical formats. A NACA airfoil is composed of a
- thickness distribution added to a camber line. The camber line is the line
- equally distant from both the upper and lower surfaces. The camber line
- determines the curvature. This version adds airfoil comparision, the scan
- method is finished, and the hi-res printing works correctly for any
- airfoil chord. It should work on all Macs. Several new airfoils have been
- included from various sources.

- pick out all of the objects, they receive a reward! Sun and Moon
- encourages critical thinking, while appealing to children with its
- colorful graphics and sound. The demo is fully functional, except that we

- kept asking my mother for her recipes, but, of course, they were scattered
- everywhere. My mother asked me if she could enter them into her computer,
- thus allowing her to have them at her disposal and not having to re-write
- them for everyone. The Big Deal about this program is that you can enter
- your recipes into the cookbook the way they were meant to be entered, with
- fractions. You enter 2 3/4 cups AS 2 3/4 cups, not as 2.67 cups as most
- programs make you do. I didn't count how many recipes there are, but
- there's tons! The layout is easy to follow and beautiful!

- of a way to do this, let me know! Look for lots of Easter eggs. This
- update fixes a bug that caused the Style menu to stay on the screen.

- MACroEcon 1.10 - Macroeconomics is the study of how the economy operates as
- a whole. First, the Circular Flow of Money diagram is used to derive some
- equations. These equations are then solved to yield the equilibrium values
- of Price, Aggregate Output (GNP), and Interest rate. Clicking on any item
- in either the Macroeconomy or the Circular Flow Diagram window will
- display information about that item in this Explanation window. Double
- clicking on the graphs in the Macroeconomy window will allow you to change
- the curve parameters so that you can observe what happens to the other
- curves. The Preferences menu item on the Control menu allows you to set
- the animation speed. Learn what macroeconomics is all about!

- Description:
- Mac Cellular Automata - What is cellular automata and why do we need it?
- Wentian Li says that cellular automata are simple models to simulate
- complex behaviors of many degrees of freedom dynamical systems. Let me
- preface my next statement by saying that although we use the word simple,
- I am only scratching the surface of the field of cellular automata study.
- In laymen terms, it means the use of simple mathematical rules to simulate
- things that might occur at the cellular level. For the purpose of keeping
- the program simple, I am only going to look at one-dimensional cellular
- automata. There are of course, two and three-dimensional cellular automata
- but I wont get into it. Read the docs first!

- using a table of primes, then Fermat's method and brute force to complete
- the factorization if necessary. Please note that using this program to
- factor some numbers over about 15 digits can take hours (or days, or

- Description:
- Infect Diseases HTB 2.0 L1 - The organisms responsible for human infections
- are extremely variable. VIRUSES are simple life forms consisting of nucleic
- acid, encoding genetic information, and surface components of protein that
- enable them to enter cells. Unable to multiply outside of living host
- cells, they are completely dependent on these cells for their continued
- maintenance. Viruses utilize the metabolic machinery of the cell and have
- the ability to interfere with, or direct in an adverse fashion, the
- activities of the cell. For more information, read the contents of this

- reproducing entities for some necessary and limited resource; then the
- entities will get better at reproducing themselves over time. This happens
