Project Java

Project Java is a collaboration between the Mineral Physics Institute and the Center for Environmental Molecular Science , both headquartered at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Undergraduate students who participate in this program develop interactive Java applets designed for use as instructional tools in Earth Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and related disciplines.
