Education Projects at other Sites

Sites with Downloadable Educational Material
calculus@internet is a project a San Joaquin Delta College is organizing internet resources for calculus. Though recently begun and under serious construction, it appears to be developing into an on-line text. You can download Theorist and Mathematica files.
The CHANCE Database contains interesting topical material for an elementary course in probablity or statistics.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania has an electronic textbook for an interdisciplinary course in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. You can download the text or view it on-line.
C*ODE*E, The Consortium for Ordinary Differential Equations Experiments, aims to share the rapidly growing wealth of computational instruction techniques with as many teachers of differential equations teachers as is possible. You can look at reviews of differential equations solvers, and you can download back issues of the C*ODE*E Newsletter.
The Geometry Center at the University of Minnesota aims to develop, support, and promote computational tools for visualizing geometric structures, for facilitating communication among mathematicians and between mathematicians and the public at large,a nd for stimulating research in geometry. (Taken from the Geometry Center Home Page.) There is a wealth of material available for download including educational articles and software. There is a nice circle packing Mathematic notebook, and you may find A Teachers Guide to Building the Icosahedron as a Class Project fun.
CalcWEB is the home page for computer based calculus at the University of Pittsburgh. There are some nice Mathematica modules there that you can view or download.
Geometry Forum at Swarthmore is a server devoted to all aspects of geometry and its teaching. You can view the proceedings of geometry discussion groups and download student projects. There are shareware libraries for users of Cabri and Sketchpad. If you look there in Steve's Dump you will find a nicely organized reference to internet resources for mathematics teachers.
Penn State University has developed a collection of graphical demonstrations for calculus which you may download. Many of these are Mathematica animations.
Indiana University of Pennsylvania is developing Interactive Learning Projects in calculus and differential equations using Mathematica.
The Transitional Mathematics Project at Imperial College in London is developing learning modules in mathematics, based on Mathematica, for first-year science and engineering students.
The Minority Science and Engineering Project at the University of Washington has a number of calculus exercises which you may download.
The Old Dominion University Calculus Project is a project that uses Mathcad in calculus. You can download a description of the project as well as examples for classroom use.
Rice University has developed NonEuclid, a Macintosh package for studying non-Euclidean geometry.
The Mathman site has sample problems and student solutions from each chapter of Don's books "Calculus By and for Young People" and "Changing Shapes with Matrices"
An Interactive calculus site can be found at JPCalculus Includes lessons, tutorials, and other calculus related topics.
Leibniz is a graphical front end to Mathematica on Macintosh and Power Macintosh computers which allows you to type mathematical text and carry out calculations using a simple, drag and drop style of expression manipulation. Leibniz is a mathematical word processor: it allows you to quickly and easily type text and structured mathematical expressions.
The EDU2 Homepage includes various educational topics from Astronomy to Vet Med.

Sites with Information Only

The Annenberg/CPB Higher Education Project has a number of multimedia mathematics education projects completed or underway. There is also funding information here.
The Mathematics Across the Curriculum program at the Math Center on the University of Nevada at Reno campus seeks to help undergraduate students at UNR improve their mathematical skills and increase their appreciation of the utility of mathematics.
At the Univeristy of Wisconsin at Marathon Center, you will find materials suitable for college algebra and trigonometry.
The WCAT Center (Workshop for Computer-Aided Tutoring) is at Simon Fraser University.

You will find additional listings on the Calculus Resources On-Line Page of the Mathematics Archives at the University of Tennessee.
You can have your own project referenced here. If you maintain your own home page, just email us an internet address. This is best since it allows you to determine how your project is presented. Alternatively, we will accept a brief description of your project for inclusion here.

If you see your own project already listed here, please check that it is properly represented. Messages can be sent from our home page.
