Abstract	A Mathematica[TM] package is described that uses simulations and animations to illustrate key concepts in harmonic oscillation and electric circuits for students not majoring in physics or mathematics. Students are not required to know the Mathematica[TM] environment: a user-friendly interface with buttons functionalities and on-line help allows immediate use of the application. Students who are familiar with the programming language have the opportunity to see the set up code that is used, and they can eventually customize it. The goal of the application presented is to enhance student insight, in the spirit of learning by experimentation. (Contains 14 figures.) (Author).
