Animations and Visualization

Three-dimensional spatial thinking is extremely challenging! This is especially true when the objects in the system under study are in motion. As a matter of fact, there is no substitute for three-dimensional representations.  Things like shadow shapes and other projective spatial concepts are very difficult for many of us. I hope these animations will help you melt away at least some of the mental blocks.
