Hello,

I wanted to create some video files for my students (we're studying the
wave equation, which begs for animation) and post them on the web where
they can be easily watched. The easiest way to do this is to create
videos in formats understand by browsers that implement the HTML5
<video> tag. (Basically anything reasonably recent does, except for IE8
and before -- which, sadly, is most of the browser market here.)

I wrote some notes on producing such videos and thought someone might
find them useful: https://sagenb.kaist.ac.kr:8066/home/pub/41. Comments
welcome.

(BTW, here's the videos I made:

The thick green plot is the shape of a plucked string, and the red and
blue plots are the traveling waves you get with d'Alembert's solution to
the wave equation.)
