Revision as of 07:39, 25 September 2008
You will need a couple of things to benefit fully from this chapter of the book:
- A calculator with the trigonometric functions sin, cosine, and tangent and the ability to calculate square roots.
- Some writing paper and a pencil. (Graph paper would probably be the best type of paper.)
If you are interested in learning about Java programming and working trough some of the programming exercises in the book (which I highly recommend) then you'll need these additional items:
- A copy of Eclipse, the Java Programming Language IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
- A copy of the Java SDK, or software development kit.
- A copy of Beanshell, the Java scripting tool.
- A good book that introduces you to the Java programming language if you are unfamilar with it. I recommend O'Reilly's Learning Java.
If you want to learn more about some of the topics that are discussed in this book, you'll also need the following things:
- Access to the internet.
- Access to a good library.
