The following links, organized by section of Contemporary College Physics, third edition, connect you to interactive multimedia "applets" and animations related to topics in the textbook. These websites are not on the McGraw-Hill server, and download times may be lengthy.
Versions of the programs are included on the book's bound-in CD-ROM, along with "cover pages" that explain each applet or animation in the context of the book's coverage. (Cover pages will be posted here as well.) Access to the applets is faster when running off of the CD, but the versions on the World Wide Web may be updated and improved.
