movement became jerky. Using Java, this problem was solved by simply renderinga needle dynamically, similar to a clock’s second hand. The class responsible for thisanimation runs on a different execution thread. Upon receiving a message, such as “turnneedle 40 degrees,” the thread keeps erasing and redrawing the needle until it reachesits final angle. The erase and redraw (called double buffering) is fast enough to providesmooth animation. This technique also reduces required storage for external media (e.g.Quicktime Movies).Interaction ModesThere are three modes of interaction with the simulator: control mode, exercise modeand information mode. The control mode is the primary way students interact with thesimulator. Figure 3 depicts a screen in

All too frequently, students view integration simply as the in-verse operation of differentiation without fully understanding the foundational logicbehind this relationship. This shallow comprehension encourages a formula-drivenmindset, where learners only apply predetermined rules for both operations, dimin-ishing their grasp of the theorem’s importance.
