Learning Center Introduction

Welcome to the M. Casco Learning Center

Summer Campus M. Casco Associates publishes run-time books for physics or math students in high school or college. Subjects are mechanics, dynamical systems and chaos. We offer these books at no cost to anyone interested. Until we get around to converting to the html help system, if you are running Microsoft Vista you will need to download a free program from Microsoft to read the help files in the run-time books. Follow this link to the Microsoft help reader .

Run-time books use mathematical simulations of the subject system instead of static illustrations, allowing experimentation with the concepts covered in the text. Our run-time books have a password protected "teacher" level of access which allows teachers to modify the text or create their own lessons, and create new mathematical models to illustrate the points they are making. For more about any of our titles, click on the appropriate cover image at the right.

For folks who don't want to download and install the run-time books, we offer online versions of two of our titles, "Order" and "Physics 1". These are powered by Java rather than the C++ programs that power the run-time books. That imposes some serious limitations on the capability of the online offerings. You may click on those links at the left.

the latest IMPORTANT CHANGE
The incessant spamming we got by having our email address published in the "Are there any questions?" mailto links on the pages in this website forced us to place an impediment to the automated email address gathering programs out there. If you click on a question mail link your mail handler should open up with a To: address in the form xxxxxAxxxx.com. You will need to replace the A with the @ symbol before you can send the question. If you try to send the question with the A in the address it is likely that your mail handler will complain to remind you that the address is illegal. Click on the "Our support folks" link at the bottom of this page for an example.

At the left you will find links to other features available on our web site. The top four links in the left column are self explanatory. The bottom three links lead to other M. Casco Associates projects.

The NAUTIC Video link leads to our marine biology website. There you may find video clips of all sorts of undersea creatures from the Gulf of Maine. This is a northern moon snail passing by our remotely operated submarine on some sort of moon snail mission.

The Natures Hidden Art link leads to a collection of images created from the dynamics of physical or mathematical systems. Some of the images are fairly crude with the connection of the images to the underlying system easily explained. In others the basic system output is elaborately massaged by the Fractal Science Kit imaging algorithms.

The Nature of Now is an almost scientific paper covering some conjectures on what happens at that boundary called now between an unknowable future where systems, including the universe as a whole, have an enormous number of possible states and an unchangeable past characterized by the single state in which the universe was caught as now swept by?
