I want to create an animation to insert it in my math presentation (e.g. a ball hitting the wall, deforming and bouncing back: just an example). Is there any free and easy to use software (preferably, for Mac OS X) to do that?
Which one is the best? I know how to create some animations in Matlab and Mathematica, but this is different: I don't want to code the whole scene as functions.
Processing...is not easy easy to use but it is free and there are a lot of example.
First hit! Thanks, didn't know about it, I will take a look.
Here are a few programs to peruse:

Andrei, if you know Matlab, maybe you could try some similar free alternatives like Octave and Sci lab.
@Luisiana: thanks, very interesting links (although http://physion.net/ apparently is down now :-( )
@Wilton: I do have a Matlab license, but I don't know how to do in Matlab what I want to do. unless going in a very big coding project. I was wondering about something more straightforward, a soft specialized precisely in creating animations.
