You must have Java 1.1 (or higher) to view this applet.

This applet is designed to provide practice multiplying polynomials (F.O.I.L.).  It is appropriate for students in Algebra 1 through Calculus. 

It has tested on the Windows platform in Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, and Mozilla. It has also been tested on Macintosh OS X using both Internet Explorer and Safari.  Under Safari, there have been intermittent problems where some buttons do not always display all of their text properly, but the basic functionality appears to be intact.

Testing on the classic Macintosh platform has been unreliable as it has worked on some machines, but not others.

  Like any computer program, this one probably has some undiscovered bugs and should be considered a "work-in-progress".  I hope you find this useful, and welcome any suggestions, comments or bug reports .
