I’m teaching the last two weeks of one of my colleagues’ Differential Equations course. I’m leading the class through a chapter on discrete dynamical systems. In preparation for the first lecture I created a couple of java applets using Geogebra. I thought others might be interested in them, so I’m linking to them here.
The first applet illustrates the discrete logistic equation, which is given by 
The second applet allows the students to explore more general one-dimensional dynamical systems.
Enjoy!
