Bucket Balance
dm/dt = ṁin − ṁout
A bucket with a tap above and a faucet below. Set each flow and watch the accumulation
term follow: positive when inflow wins, negative when outflow does, exactly zero when
they match. Live plots of mass and rate, with the overflow and run-dry limits made
visible rather than hidden.

Additional demonstrations are in preparation. Check back during the semester.
Using these in class
Everything here is a single self-contained HTML file. You can link to an app,
embed it in a Canvas page with an
<iframe>, or download it and open it
offline — the only thing that needs a connection is the web fonts, and the apps degrade
gracefully without them. Nothing is tracked and nothing is stored.
