  1. Visualizing Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations
    University of Hartford Professor Bob Decker's Mathlet allows you to visualize solutions of 2-dimensional systems of ordinary differential equations: plots both solutions, phase portrait and the direction field.

  2. How to Plot Direction Fields using Mathematica
    This website describes what Mathematica commands you need to use to generate solution curves and direction fields, and how to plot them together or separately.
  3. How to Plot Direction Fields using MATLAB
    This website contains a very cool Matlab m-file called dirfield.m which can be used to plot direction fields, solution curves, and solution curves with direction fields. This involves both numerical and symbolic solutions of DEs.
  4. Visualizing direction fields and solution curves
    This website allows for visualization of simple direction fields. Numerically brittle. 
  5. Fancier program for visualizing direction fields 
    This website (requires installation of Java 1.1.6) and uses DFIELD to show direction fields and solution curves.
  6.  Matlab References
