This gives java applets that the user can interact with by changing parameters. The resulting screenshots look similar to the LiveMath interactive documents that I use on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intmath.com\/\">Interactive Mathematics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When I went to try one of the demos, it began loading the java applets and after a few minutes I got sick of waiting and started to write this post. Then it froze up my browser  (Firefox). I tried again using that other browser (IE) and this time it asked me if I wanted to install some component. I agreed, the applet indicated that it loaded fully, but nothing appeared for a long time. Eventually I could see the graphs and could change parameters. <\/p>\n<p>You can try it yourself here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maplesoft.com\/products\/maplenet\/\">http:\/\/www.maplesoft.com\/products\/maplenet\/<\/a>. [Currently it's version 15.]<\/p>\n<p>While LiveMath doesn't have the flexibility of this MapleNet, file sizes are smaller and it is less clunky. But Maple is huge, so I guess this product will become more mainstream. Can't say I am impressed so far...<\/p>\n<p><b>Stop press<\/b> The second demo I tried to access using IE froze the browser.
