Demonstrates vector addition through the use of the parallelogram method but is limited to the use of only 2 vectors. I'm assuming the addition of the 3D vectors is just for more complex vector addition. Also provides extra information for each of the vectors drawn and added for your personal convenience if needed.

The 3 dimensional graph is extremely cool and adds a little life to the
extensively used 2 dimensional graph.

This site was very interesting. It showed me how the head to tail method is
actually correct.

This is a fairly good website, especially on the 2-D vectors with the vector
sliding down the length of the other vector to show the resultant! My main
complaint is that the 3-D vectors (I tried one out for fun) are a little too
slow. The graphics are sparse, but still pretty good. --MJC

Very neat applet that does a good job showing the addition of two vectors.
Although it is limited to two vectors, the 3-D vectors increased its rating.

This site is adequate for simple vector addition; however, it lacks versatility,
thus, I only gave it 3 stars.

One of the better running vector addition applets available. Unfortunately, limited to two vectors. The extra applet that demonstrates 3-D addition of vectors is a bonus, but the perspective is a little hard to discern.

Excellent physic java applet.
