This page is a link page to my various applications of Matlab to teaching.

Dirac Notation Interpreter   This allows to use Dirac bra-ket notation in matrix and operator calculations. Constructed for matlab 4, runs under matlab 5 and 6. Many useful string operations and interpretor written in MAtlab itself.

Another intuitive teaching idea: Added February 2006: you might be interested in this "science game"
http://equal-opportunity-game.blogspot.com/.
You are asked there to guess an outcome of a game, which is a natural law in disguise.
