Interactive simulations for teaching and learning differential equations

In this paper, we present some interactive simulations developed mainly for educational purposes in physics, mathematics, and engineering. A new horizon of understanding some concepts via interactive animations has opened a new research dimension in the learning theory. In this work, our interest is focused on the design of interactive and didactic simulations for teaching and learning differential equations. The code is written in ActionScript/Flash to enjoy all the benefits of this technology in the multimedia field, Internet and mobile phones (smartphones and tablets). This powerful tool stimulates students' interest to understand/learn abstract mathematical concepts in physics. These simulations provide additional insight for concepts that need a lot of resources and time. These simulations are applied in e-learning environments and engineering education.
