This table maps the Java materials presented on this website. The rows represent chapters in the course. The columns, or tracks as we will often refer to them, represent the particular types of material presented. You should refer to this table frequently to monitor your progress through the course.

Part I: Introduction to Java

Java - the language course is shown in two columns or tracks:
1. Core Track - this column holds the bulk of the course and covers the essential elements of the language . One could follow the pages in just this column and ignore the other three columns to obtain a good grounding in the basics of Java progamming.
2. Supplements - each chapter includes extra materials that range from basic programming to overviews of advanced topics.
Tech Track - additional materials related to the use of Java for science, math, and engineering tasks.
Physics Track - a physics sub-course that illustrates how Java can be used for numerical methods, simulations, and experiment analysis.

B. Survey of Java Codes
We review several Java libraries & programs that are of particular interest for technical applications.

We focus on open source and freeware libarires but also look at some proprietary packages.

We look first at general tools including graphic packages.

We then look at math and science packages and some physics related programs.
